Drake White is a Southern Baptist who grew up in the church where his grandfather preached. When you listen to his music, such as his new single, “Living the Dream,” you can definitely hear the influence of the church on his sound. Drake says, “Growing up in that small church and watching my grandfather preach and listening to my dad sing and listening to the choir, that was really what really laid the foundation and that passion for music and for spirituality and for my whole moral compass.”
“Livin’ the Dream” will be featured on Drake’s forthcoming album, which will be released this spring.
