As a young man, Drake appeared in several commercials, for such retailers as Sears and GMC.

In 2006, Drake launched his music career by releasing his first mix tape, "Room for Improvement." Three years later, his third mix tape, "So Far Gone," garnered him critical and commercial success, and, the following year, he released his official debut album, "Thank Me Later," to generally positive reviews. Aubrey Drake Graham has established himself as a multi-talented young Canadian, and the entertainment industry has great expectations for him.
