Raised in in Hampton, Virginia, D.R.A.M. (an acronym for Does Real Ass Music) found inspiration in artists beyond his years, such as luminaries like Al Green and Parliament.
Over time his sound developed and he began dropping music. He later hit the road on sold out tours with the likes of Chance The Rapper, and worked with the legendary Rick Rubin, who D.R.A.M. cites as his mentor.
The biggest development came when D.R.A.M. dropped his #1EPICSummer mixtape in 2014 and captivated fans with his break out hit “Cha Cha.” The infectious Latin rhythm fully showcased his soulful singing voice, and penchant for crating catchy melodies. The world took notice, including Beyoncé who posted a video on Instagram of her dancing to the song.
Fast forward a year and D.R.A.M. had quit his job at retail chain, Best Buy, dropped the highly-favored follow-up EP Gahdamn!, hit the road on sold out tours with the likes of Chance The Rapper, and worked with the legendary Rick Rubin, who D.R.A.M. cites as his mentor.
With the release of his debut album 'Big Baby D.R.A.M.', D.R.A.M. is more determined than ever to prove that he is here to stay. Heralded by the double platinum, Lil Yachty-assisted “Broccoli,” which hit #1 on the Billboard “Top Rap Songs” chart, as well as #1 on the Rhythmic radio charts, Big Baby D.R.A.M. is filled with an assorted mix of soulful jams, laced with appearances from Erykah Badu and Young Thug, that are all tied together by D.R.A.M.’s magnetic personality.
With each track, D.R.A.M. remains a relatable superstar that will captivate fans for years to come. “Through conversation if I can relate with other people why not portray that in my music as well,” he says. “I just gotta be true to me.”
