About Drew Schultz

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My father took me to see the film Standing In The Shadows of Motown about Motown's recording band The Funk Brothers. The film showed me musical icons in their later years, still making music at the highest level, still friends. It is still inspiring! What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Earth, Wind & Fire, That's the Way of the World Four Tops, Nature Planned It Tower of Power, Soul Vaccination - Tower of Power Live The TOP album opened my mind to full band arrangement. The EWF album showed me a drummer can lead a band. The Tops album taught me about vocal hooks and composition. David Garibaldi, Maurice White, and Levi Stubbs are role models as human beings. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “What I'd Do for You (feat. The Four Tops & James Jamerson, Jr)” I still pinch myself hearing them bring my own song to life, getting to record with my childhood favorite group the Four Tops with James Jamerson Jr. on bass whose father played on so many of my favorite Motown songs along with The Funk Brothers. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? The best moment of my musical life so far may have been getting the chance to perform in the Snakepit, Studio A, at Hitsville USA in Detroit - now the Motown Museum - for a private event honoring Motown alumni for Motown's 65th Anniversary. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I want to keep making music and memories with artists and musicians who I admire, creating soulful music that contains echoes of the songs and sounds that have inspired me over the years. Hopefully, people will hear it and enjoy it.
