  25. Billy Powell

    Im 22 years old and im from fort worth texas. Im an only child and just recently both of my parents were diagnosed wiht Hepatitis C. i grew up in the ghettos of the eastide also known as stop six. its a notoriously bad area and probably the worst of the DFW area. growing up white in the ghetto wasnt the easiest thing in the world but its made me who i am today and i would never change that. I dont have any music out there at the moment but ive been freestyling and doing shows for some years now and its my escape and my life. I put my heart and soul into my music and i have that southern style with a little trap sound too. I wanna make it big and get to the top so the reason you should choose me is with everything ive said i think im the epitome of starting from the bottom

  27. Aneeva Lane

    Hi. My name is aneeva lane. Im 17 years old & im Asian and black. I feel like I should be required to participate in this because I love singing & I love music ..its my passion. Its the only thing Im good at doing. I remember when i was 6 years old i started chorus ..i loved singing so much. & everyone use to doubt me. even the music teacher…why? because they thought i wasn’t good enough..i had a deep voice. & kids would tease me ..even when i get good compliments….my teacher never gave me a chance or a solo. everyone always doubted me. Even my parents ..but look at me now I’ve improved so much a lot of people has given up but not me. watch me go far! only person that encouraged me was my grandma years and years later she disappeared on me…. Im not expecting to get accepted or anything. I just thought it be nice to give it a shot & try for once.

  43. Danarian

    Of all the emerging stars currently lighting up the music industry, few shine as bright as emerging teen sensation, Danarian Taylor AKA Danarian.

    With a voice mature beyond his years, dancing skills that homage Michael Jackson, and an impressive performance resume, Danarian is a rare talent.

    Danarian showed a high aptitude for the performing arts at an early age and instead of enrolling him into a standard high school, his parents set up an audition at the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts, where Danarian was accepted.

    A workaholic, Danarian quickly excelled, becoming one of the most highly touted students in the school’s dance program, maintaining a rigorous rehearsal and performance schedule, both in and outside of the school.

    In 2009, Danarian took up an interest in singing and convinced his father/manager, Reginald “Big Hitz” Taylor, to introduce him to local songwriters and producers.

    Within one month, Danarian wrote and recorded his first song, exhibiting the same raw talent and relentless work ethic he had for dancing and performing. Since that time has written and recorded dozens of songs, while racking up an impressive string of contest/showcase victories and vocal performances, including:

    Winner: Big Dream Hustle Hard Showcase (Miami, FL)
    Winner: Extreme Teen Dance Competition (DC)
    Winner: Black College Expo Tour Dance Competition (DC, NYC and ATL)
    Winner: International Association of Blacks & Dance (Toronto, Canada)
    Winner: IABD Competition (Philadelphia)
    Performed for First Lady, Michelle Obama (Duke Ellington)
    Performed @ The Smokey Robinson Festival (Kennedy Center, DC)
    Performed @ The atlas theater INTERSECTIONS art festival

    Now ready to take his act to the world stage, Danarian is finishing work on an EP, laying the groundwork for an R&B/pop mixtape and prepping a music video.

    INFLUENCES: Michael Jackson, John Legend, Marvin Gaye, Usher, Tank

    Gender: Female
    Eyes: Dark Brown
    Hi I’m Arena Samson, born and raised in NY. Living in NY has really exposed me to many different cultures and the many different sound that come from those cultures. From the streets of NY to the underground subways all i could remember as a child was hearing endless sounds of music and this is how music became my first love. My mom is Cuban and Haitian and dad Jamaican and Guyanese and everyone on my dad’s side in musically involved. I would really love to be the opening act of your show because you are one of many artist that inspire me lyrically. Though I don’t know you personally, I know that I feel as strongly about the art of music as you do. Music has always been my passion, I’m absolutely IN LOVE with music. My mom says I’ve been singing before I could talk and dancing before i could walk. I was that little girl you caught singing in the shower and knew all the lyrics to every song that came on the radio. I listen to all types of music and a large variety of artist from artist like Adele, Coldplay , Lana Del Rey, Bonnie Raitt to Rihanna, Drake, Kenrick Lamar, MJ … etc. I’m always writing songs and making beats just for the fun of it but I REALLY WANT TO BE HEARD and taken seriously about pursing my music career. It would make me the happiest person in the world if i got a chance to meet other artist how could possible give me advise on how a can advance.I truly believe that God has blessed me with many talents, that have yet to be discovered. I’ve been trying the best I can to get noticed by posting videos on youtube and registering for many talent auditions but honestly what I need someone with connections and a great reputation to give me a chance, to believe me as much as I believe myself, and to help make my dreams come true. I hope to become a voice of inspiration and someone whom people can look up to as an artist. I really hope you take me under strong consideration. Even if i don’t get a call back I just wanted to say that I really appreciate y’all giving people a chance for their voices to be heard.
    Sincerely,

    Arena Samson

  51. clever lemons

    Hello world,
    This is clever lemons, age 24, born in the city of Detroit. Why should you choose me is a really tricky question, judging that I don’t know what my task is yet. At this stage, I don’t know why; it would be arrogant of me to claim that I do know why you should choose me out of 1000 of others. What I do know that you are the greatest artist of your time and I would be honor to show you my versitle talent of rapping and singing. I have alot of videos and have performed at plenty of shows throughout my city. Depending on some key questions that you might have for me, I am determined to shut what ever you put in front of me down!!

It would be unreal to do my thing before a soon to be living legend. I’m not gonna boost myself up to try to win this contest, I just know I have good music that needs to be heard and expressed. I’m definitely going to apply for this! But I rather let my music do the talking. With my dreams growing bigger every goal I complete, my confidence sky high, and me being as humble as can be, I have high hopes for myself and this contest. See you soon Drake!

    Hair: Black
    Race: African American
    Talents: Acting and Singing
    About Me: I’m Lia, I love to sing and act. I’ve been singing since I was 4 years old. Being able to have the opportunity to audition for one of my favorite rappers is just amazing! I love Drake’s work, I love what he stands for. I mean he’s black, from Canada, and Jewish. He’s the guy who had the long walk home. He got to this point from being Jimmy on Degrassi. I understand how it feels to be that kid though. Since I got to middle school(it’s my last year) I got bullied for being an “oreo”. Music is my only escape and being able to have an opportunity like this would be an amazing experience.

  61. Vandell Andrews

    Im 23 rapping with 3 brothers from ages 18-16 reppin CT danbury 203
    And A few reasons why I think I should be chosen, simply are I’m driven, I have the ambition of a young boy who is determined to be better than his heartless father. Music is me, music is life, music is struggle! Music is pain music is love, music has noo limits no rules.. It’s what I want it to be. The hard work, dedication, the wait, the shine… I was told everything in this world is MINE!.. The truth the lies the scandals.. Stay away from this page if the downfalls of life you can’t handle!! I was taught how to rap at a very young age I taught myself how to make beats I taught myself how to play the piano.. I went out an got it, now it’s me an my team and we will stop at nothing to reach our goals and our dreams. When you’ve had nothing all your life you look for something to make your days bright. And this is my opportunity! Words can go but so far, but I swear if you give me a mic and tell me to handle it imma handle it..

    They say time heals pain I feel the same
    I guess I’m out of it
    Moneys like a drug I find myself needing more of it
    I’m sure of it follow me if ya broke I’m the cure for it
    My ambition is knocking well baby tell me is ya hear it

    Trapped inside my mind am I dreaming y’all
    Or am I really sane naw I’m just tripping dawg
    If u look deeper than my eye kolor u kan see it awll
    U written Dwn my faults watch how I rise from it all
    Old friends become associates
    Enemies is still listening
    Tryna kreep up in the fences
    But I spot em in the distance
    life isn’t fair
    I just learned not to care
    Don’t tell me ur not feelin em
    Nigguhz die for the Benjamin’s
    I’m Tryna stay afloat yea it’s my ambition
    It’s not that I’m speaking fast u dnt pay attention
    I was told life wasn’t fair
    Ppl come an go
    U just gotta stay aware

  62. Maritza Reyes

    Well, I’m not here to say that I want to open up for Drake or anything, but I know that my older brother would love to. He’s seriously like Drake’s biggest fan. He’s got a great voice. Sometimes people think my brother sounds like Drake. I’m writing this because I know my brother has what it takes to open for Drake… Please anyone reading this just go to this website and you can here my brother rap. He’s pretty good. His name is Gustavo Thanks!!!:)

  63. Nae Pretty

  64. Tiphanie (Tiffany) Reeves

    I think ANYONE can be “considered”. But I have what it takes to be CHOSEN!! I’m a 23 y.o Puerto Rican and African American female. I have a fresh new face and a VOICE that will NOT be compared to ANYONE on the radio right now. I write my own lyrics and range from tenor to high soprano. Genres from pop/rock, r&b, rap, jazz, gospel and whatever else a voice can sing. (Those are just the genres I’ve written for myself so far.) Plus I have a response to Drake’s Marvin’s Room which is better than most of the celebrity covers.

  70. Tylre Belle

    My name is Tylre Belle (Tyler Belle) and I believe that I should be considered for one of Drakes Openings. I am 17 years old, light brown skinned and very skilled towards singing. I weight at least 123 pounds and i’m 5’4. Four words, music is my passion. I’m a little shy at first but once I get out of that stage my good sense of humor comes out as well as the fact that i’m very easy to work with. I should be considered because I believe that the voice I have could actually get me somewhere in life. Every time I sing, positive energy comes along from what people say and what I feel when I sing. I’m not just saying this so you’ll pick me, i’m saying this because I know I’ve got what it takes. And i’d love to work with Drake, he is a great artist and I guarantee that I could learn things from him. This would be a wonderful experience, and nobody will be disappointed. Thank you and I hope you consider me.
