Mo'Tempo soon became a household name in Chicago. Mo'Tempo, was the opening act for superstars in Chicago and was on the verge of signing a major recording deal when a producer spotted Drew and encouraged her to become solo, her counterparts supported her, their passion was not as strong as Drew's and they obliged her decision.
Drew maintained honor roll student status throughout her formal education.

Drew's vision is to bring purity back into the entertainment industry. As a young role model, her idea of success is beyond how many videos you make and how many magazine covers you grace, but being true to yourself, your potential and being consistent, never wavering from pressure and negative influences. Her music is a mix of urban soul and R & B. Her goal is to perform with a live band, dance and sing live and not lip sync, and understanding that good music has a universal demographic, which includes people like her mother and her mother's friends.
She sang the songs For The Love featuring Mario and "'Til the Dawn" for the accompanying Step Up movie soundtrack. She has also recorded a public service announcement for Deejay Ra's 'Hip-Hop Literacy' campaign that encourages reading DMX's autobiography.
