Growing up in the gritty, vibrant environment of Watts, Lil Drawz has channeled his life experiences into his music, making waves in the industry with his raw and authentic sound.

His journey into music began at an early age when, as a teenager, he and a group of friends discovered their shared love for music. One day, a beat maker came through the neighborhood, sparking the idea of creating a song. The outcome? A hit that caught the attention of everyone around. From there, Lil Drawz, alongside his close friend and collaborator Brother Dave, began to hone their craft, making music that resonated with their community.

Working out of a church where they couldn’t curse, they persevered and created music that felt genuine and powerful, despite the challenges. Their first songs laid the foundation for what would become a series of musical projects with Brother Dave. Soon after, Lil Drawz’s boy, Chad, brought a laptop into the mix, and they started recording and producing from there. The drive didn’t stop at just making music—they even set up a studio in the housing projects, where they were dedicated to their craft.

However, life in the projects wasn’t always easy. The makeshift studio they created in the heart of the neighborhood was broken into, and their equipment was stolen. But Lil Drawz and his team didn’t let that stop them. They adapted, networking and finding new ways to continue their music journey. Their passion for creating music led them to connect with industry professionals and eventually work with renowned artists, proving that hard work and resilience could break through any obstacle.

Today, Lil Drawz’s music stands as a testament to his experiences growing up in Watts, and he’s poised for even greater success. His blend of raw talent and real-life storytelling makes him stand out, and as he continues to collaborate with top artists, there’s no doubt that his journey is just beginning.
