After losing his best friend to the streets at just 17, DREW fell into Gang Life—leading to crime, addiction and a long stretch in State Prison.Even behind bars, Graffiti remained in his soul becoming the first person to ever rock an illegal blockbuster with a spray can inside a California state prison. When he came home, he returned to his true love: graffiti art. DREW became a pioneer in the slap sticker game collaborating with some of the most influential graffiti artists worldwide and building his brand, ONLY THE REAL, into one of LA's most recognizable graff merch brands. Today, DREW dedicates himself with helping and rebuilding lives.
