Earlier today I had the privilege of chatting with the gentleman that is Drake White. As I spoke with the Alabama native we chatted about his first taste of singing vocally, the changes in country music in his time in Nashville, what it means to come to the UK and the impact of song writing and music can have to the end user.
Drake is poised to do a whole host of shows across the UK and into Europe next month, kicking it all off in Belfast.

About Drake White
Drake White grew up singing in his church’s youth choir in Alabama before becoming one of Country music’s most spirited innovators, earning four Top 40 hits and traveling the country on multiple nationwide tours. His 2013 debut single “Simple Life” introduced his brand of Country soul,which he cemented with 2016 debut album SPARK followed by the EPs ‘Pieces’ and ‘Stars.’
In August 2019, he collapsed on stage due to a hemorrhagic stroke, and doctors told him he might never perform again. After undergoing a series of operations to repair his Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) and months of physiotherapy, White has proved them wrong, embarking on his The Optimystic Tour to spread his incredible positivity to his fans. New songs “Power of a Woman” and “Giants” are the latest tastes of new music from White, who has received accolades including Rolling Stone’s 10 Country Artists You Need to Know, The Grammy’s Artist of Tomorrow and the British CMA Awards’ International Song of the Year. He has shared the bill with Country music superstars like Luke Bryan, Eric Church and Zac Brown Band.
