The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Drake is a Canadian rapper, singer and actor who has brought his performance background to Saturday Night Live as both a host and musical guest. His sketches have used self-parody, musical comedy and character roles, allowing him to play with the public image attached to his recording career.

Born Aubrey Drake Graham, he first became known as Jimmy Brooks on Degrassi: The Next Generation before moving into music. Albums including Take Care, Nothing Was the Same and Views established him as a major recording artist. His SNL appearances connect that music career with the acting experience that preceded it.
