We are not – although we do like the sounds he makes! Our founder is Adele Drake, a lady who founded the Drake Music organisations in the UK, in memory of two of her own daughters. Adele asked Michelle, our CEO, to set up a branch here in Northern Ireland in 1992. Michelle loved the challenge and started workshops, then registered Drake Music NI as a charity in its own right, with Adele on the first management board. We began with studios in Belfast and Newry, as well as outreach workshops throughout Northern Ireland. The rest is, as they say, musical history!
