Fun Facts:

1. Drew's favorite-ever fan encounter showed him just how powerful his music could be.

"After a show one night, I met a guy near Detroit who told me about how my song 'Rebound' made him realize his worth. He was dating a girl, and she broke up with him for another guy. Two weeks later that guy dumped her, so she tried to come back to him. He told her he'd have to think about it, and when he hopped in his car, the first thing that came on the radio was 'Rebound.' He said soon as he heard the song, he knew I couldn't go back with her. He wanted to be with someone that wasn't gonna make him a second choice."
