Career

From a young age, Drew had an interest in music. During his adolescence, he learned to play guitar and performed with various metal bands. By the age of 18, he had already released five albums and produced several others for local bands. By 2000, Drew was drawn to the New York City house music scene. Inspired by the DJ masters he experienced, he began to mix his own tracks featuring house music and his own guitar work.[2] He began his career as a DJ playing smaller venues in New York City.[3] He then began traveling to clubs in other cities, such as Washington, DC and Los Angeles, CA. Since then, he has continued to travel and DJ at a variety of venues and events. Amongst the events around the globe that DrewG has played are New York City’s famous Black Party[4] (as the youngest DJ ever to play the event),[2] numerous Cherry weekend events in Washington, DC, a 2008 Presidential Inaugural ball for President Barack Obama, Carnival in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, Ski Weeks in Aspen, Colorado, Mammoth Lakes [Elevation], the Pink Party in Denver, CO, Mardi Gras[5] in Sydney, Australia, Dunes Resort events in Saugatuck, Michigan, Ascension weekend at Fire Island Pines, and Sand Blast in Asbury Park, New Jersey.

As a producer Drew has produced official remixes (either solo or with remix partner Brian Cua) for some of the most successful music artists in the world, including Madonna, Beyoncé, LeAnn Rimes, Blondie, Ed Sheeran, and RuPaul,[6][7][8][9][10][11] among others.

Dirty Pop

Dirty Pop is best known as the name of the remixing duo of Drew G. and fellow producer Brian Cua.[12] 2014 and 2015 were particular banner years for Dirty Pop's production work. During that time, both Beyoncé ("Blow," "Pretty Hurts," "7/11")[7][13][14] and Madonna ("Living For Love," "Ghosttown," "Bitch, I'm Madonna")[6][15][16] selected Drew and Brian to be official remixers of their singles.

The duo continues to produce remixes and original tracks. Their two original tracks, "Gag," "Light Up the Night," and their remake of "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now,"[12] have all charted on the Billboard Dance Club Play Chart.[17]

The Dirty Pop brand also encompasses the traveling dance party in the U.S.[2]
