Some dreams begin in silence. Others start with sound. For Drew Adams, professionally known as Drew Montana, music was always in the air. Born on February 5, 1993, and raised in West Los Angeles, California, his childhood was filled with the timeless voices of legends like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott, and Jay Z. With those sounds shaping his daily environment, his imagination began to dream beyond what he could yet see.
Surrounded by multiple genres and generations of music, Drew was inspired not just by what he heard, but by what he felt. Each song planted a seed. Each influence expanded his vision. Long before he ever stepped into a studio, a future in music was already forming.
A Work Ethic Built From Childhood
Drew Montana’s determination revealed itself early. From a young age, he showed unmatched focus, self-motivation, and discipline. One of his first true passions beyond music was basketball, which he began playing at just five years old. When he set his sights on making the all-star team at nine, he trained for hours every day. Within months, he became a top pick on every team he played on, from recreation leagues through middle and high school.
That same relentless drive would later carry him into music. While many only saw an athlete, very few knew that behind the scenes, Drew was also writing songs, quietly nurturing a passion that would soon change his life.
The Bold Decision That Changed Everything
After a playoff game during his senior year of high school, Drew shocked his family with a life-changing announcement. Instead of pursuing college basketball opportunities, he chose to follow his true passion for music.
Rather than taking a traditional route, Drew immersed himself in the industry from the inside. He spent endless hours in recording studios with producers and well-known artists, studying the business from the ground up. He observed quietly, recorded mixtapes, performed shows with his team of artists, and began building real experience instead of chasing shortcuts.
Building Family of Bosses Records From the Ground Up
With vision and independence at the core of his mission, Drew founded Family of Bosses Records (FOB). His goal wasn’t simply to release music. It was to build ownership, structure, and legacy.
He met with industry executives, researched the business side of music, secured his BMI number, created FOB merchandise, and stood firm on owning his publishing and developing catalog. Every move was calculated to protect his future and empower his brand.
FOB became more than a label. It became a mindset built on discipline, leadership, and self-determination.
Staying the Course Through Life’s Challenges
Like every real journey, Drew Montana’s path has not been without challenges. There were shifts, transitions, and personnel changes along the way. Life tested the strength of his vision. But through every detour, his love for music never stopped calling him forward.
Instead of quitting, Drew evolved. He grew not only as an artist but as a man dedicated to his craft. Today, he moves with clarity, purpose, and independence, extending his fan base with a sound that stays true to who he is.
An Artist in His Own Lane
Drew Montana is not chasing trends. He is building something lasting. With the spirit of a student, the discipline of an athlete, and the mindset of a CEO, he continues to move forward in his own lane, shaping the future of Family of Bosses Records and his evolving musical catalog.
His story reflects what happens when passion meets preparation, when talent meets patience, and when dreamers choose ownership over shortcuts.
