FUSE TV - D.R.A.M. Looks Back at How His Musical Upbringing Created His Rapping-Singing Style

Heard on songs like "Broccoli" and his rising hit "Cash Machine," D.R.A.M. successfully blends rapping and singing to make some undeniable jams. The latest Fuse First artist explained his earliest musical memories that created the artist he is today.

"Growing up in Virginia was a whole lot of things, but we had the music in us," he shares. "I grew up singing in church and school choir. I wanted to start rapping when I was 13 because I wanted to make music. It was a blessing that it really came true."
