About Drew

Hmm, there is so much for me to say. However, it is not ABOUT me, but rather ABOUT YOU. You are the people who have inspired me. You, my friends, my family. When you ask a musician to write an “ABOUT”, bet your buttons it will include a legion of others. That is simply the nature of musical art form.
This is a small collection of work that evolved while being around my friends who became family and my family who became friends. Surprised!!!
I wrote a song, then another, then another while taking you along with me on this sacred highway, whether you knew it or not. It was a journey of joy and anguish. Soon I understood that my small little world was a collection of songs that gave me something to live for because I was around you, my friends and family. You are the very people who I inhale and exhale every day that give me my life force. It became a way of surviving certain periods as my skin opened with the sweat that connected my need to be useful and my need to be creative that was way beyond myself.
I want to give heartfelt thanks to the most creative and most talented musicians with whom I have the privilege of working. My Brothers, The Music Mafia, Ettore Roccatani, and Sergio Lepidio. There is not a day that passes when I don’t give thanks to you both for your boundless creative input and invaluable musical talent. Damn, you guys are good!!!
A very special thanks to my fellow musicians Phil Skiba, Chris “Christo” Amelar, John “Big Daddy Director” Eccher, Bobby Harden, Luciano Cocco, Steve “Exxon” Valdez, Gareth “The Rev” Hall, Andrea Ricci, Eric Smith, Richard and Ron Brown, Royce Peterson, Rolando Berlardoni, Hayley Harrington, Brooke Howard, Marlin “The Marl” Slutsky, Scott Hamilton, Paul Handleman, Darko Jelesic, Cliff Lyons, and Russell Kiernan.
I want to acknowledge the greatest love and family a person may ever know. The lovely and talented Georgia Thomas, Curt “The Cosmic Falcon” Fairhurst, Claire “The Golden One” Alessandri, Lou “The Wild Dog” Alvarez, Tina “Mia Sorella” DiMare, Fran “Frano” Pierce, Dev Dev Villa, Brian “Made Of Iron” Dyer, Becca “The Band Mom”, Claire Munday, Roberto “11 Bar Blues” Evangelista, Fernando “FFF” Rey, Seth Greenspan, Jesse “The Photographer” Winter, Greg “The Great” Wendt, The boys at Motel Room Studios, Jesse “The Tree House” Fairbairn, Jackie Weisberg, Josh “The Bean Stalk” Weisberg and my friends and coworkers at ScharffWeisberg.
A warm embrace to Chris, Danny, Vance and Dean DiCamillo. Also, my dad, Livio DiCamillo, although an enigma, is apparently responsible for my musical DNA.
I am also infinitely grateful to my mama, who, upon first notice, I was even remotely interested in the bass and immediately signed me up for lessons. Grazie Milli Mama...
