An underground hip hop artist.
Ayyodrake is a hip-hop recording and DJ artist based in the Bay Area (California). Ayyodrake's taste in music is ever expanding, diving into different genres and discovering different sounds. However, much of his acquired taste comes from his parents who played Motown, Pop, Funk, R&B, and 90s Hip Hop. Born Austin Drake, Ayyodrake was raised in San Jose, California, and has lived in the Bay Area for much of his life. In 2015, he attended the University of California, Berkeley, and went to the Haas Business School (2016). Here, he met Oakland-native Hezekiah Burton aka Hezzy, where a bond formed immediately. They shared a passion for music and entertainment, and as students the duo hosted an original student-concert series "Berkeley's Finest" -- selling out in their debut. In 2019, they officially formed their startup Authentic Craft, LLC.
Ayyodrake plays modern hip-hop and rap infused with classic influences from 90s hip-hop, funk, and R&B.
