About Drew Five
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. My musical influences stem from classical, jazz and punk. I started out as a bassplayer in my teens, graduating to guitar (acoustic and electric), keyboards and piano. For many years I've been a producer and beat-maker, but it all goes back to T Rex.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? David Sylvian, Erik Honoré, Jan Bang, Uncommon Deities Joanna Newsom, Ys Sam Lee, songdreaming 3 of the albums that inspire are Ys by Joanna Newsom - poetic and beautiful; Sam Lee's genius weaving of nature into every note of Songdreaming is sublime; Bang/Sylvian/Honore have created an work of divine beauty on Uncommon Deities.
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. “Perfect Day (feat. Jemaur Tayle)” One of my super favourite musicians is Jemaur Tayle from Shellyan Orphan and latterly Vamberator. I was so stoked when Jem, a musical hero, agreed to do vocal harmonies for my Lou Reed cover. Jem said it wouldn't be out of place on This Mortal Coil.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? I have been lucky to have performed at Funkhaus Berlin with Jan Bang and NPG London "Lateshift" for Martyn Ware (Heaven 17 / Tina Turner). I was also long-listed for a music production award for my work on Feral Five's "Truth Is The New Gold".
Drew Five has also released music as a member of Feral Five.
