Drew32 is becoming a nationally known name.

Andrew Parks — a Michigan rap artist who goes by the name of Drew32 — has produced and performed his music for more than eight years. His work has put the 21-year-old in the spotlight.

The Oakland University student from Auburn Hills is studying to get his degree in marketing. He said he believes knowledge of business is important.

Drew32 has a self-described “do it yourself” attitude. He does the majority of his producing and recording in his own home because he has all the essential equipment.

“No one’s going to hand you anything,” Drew32 said.

“I took it upon myself to learn how to produce my own beats, record my own vocals, design my own mixtape covers and website, and when it came to getting my music out, I took the initiative to go out and develop relationships with the right people who have shown me support throughout my career.”

ESPN’s widely viewed sports debate show, First Take featured Drew32’s music throughout February. He’s also recently had his music played nationally on Shade 45, on Sirius XM satellite radio.
