Drake White doesn’t have any kids of his own yet, but he says a family is definitely something he and his wife are planning. “I have three nephews; Jace, Adrian and Fisher, and my sister’s three years older than I am and there’s nothin’ I like more than hangin’ out with those guys, hangin’ out with these young kids,” says Drake.
Drake has a passion for kids in general and helping them to realize their passion and know that it’s okay to learn and do things their own way. He says, “I had trouble learning in school a little bit sometimes, early in my days. But, I think everybody learns differently. I think kids understanding their passions and following what they’re naturally doing is the way we learn, and it’s the way they learn. So, I just absolutely love kids and yeah, me and my wife are definitely plannin’ on having kids in the near future and I can’t wait. I think I’m gonna be a good dad.”
In the meantime, before parenthood, Drake is spending most of his time on the road these days, promoting his latest single, “It Feels Good.”

Drake White – kids :45
“I have three nephews; Jace, Adrian and Fisher, and my sister’s three years older than I am and there’s nothin’ I like more than hangin’ out with those guys, hangin’ out with these young kids. It’s one of my extreme passions is to help kids realize their passion, and to tell them it’s OK to go learn this way or do this thing. I had trouble learning in school a little bit sometimes, early in my days. But, I think everybody learns differently. I think kids understanding their passions and following what they’re naturally doing is the way we learn, and it’s the way they learn. So, I just absolutely love kids and yeah, me and my wife are definitely plannin’ on having kids in the near future and I can’t wait. I think I’m gonna be a good dad.”
