Drew Schultz is a new recording artist in the scene. He just released his debut album 'Back To Class'. But is Drew new on the scene? Appearantly not. Drew worked, and toured, as drummer, percussionist and substitute conductor with the legendary Motown group 'The Four Tops' for over five years. He also performed with other artists including The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, The Dramatics, The Contours, The Miracles, Chairmen of the Board, Harold Melvin’s Bluenotes, The Velvelettes, and many more.

On his youtube page Drew tells, a lot, about his new project. Every track is passing the revue with great anecdotes and stories. (click on Back To Class) I can't do it better.

'Back To Class' is a great produced soul abum. This album couldn't fail with the great artists that are involved.

My favorite tracks are 'Not Enough', 'Shipwrecked', and 'Jamo'.
