Andrew Laury Penn II (born May 8, 1986), better known as his stage name Muzik Jones Drew, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and engineer. He is well known for his catchy sound and extensive behind the scenes work.
Muzik Jones Drew was born at the Homestead Air Reserve Base in Homestead, Florida and grew up in Delray Beach, Florida. He had spent a majority of his youth in the church playing drums and singing in the choir. While attending Atlantic Community High School, Drew decided to share his musical skills with a couple of locally, popular rap groups he had joined with younger brother, Dexter Penn. It was here where his unique music composition and voice would first get recognition. In 2004 he continued to improve on his musical talents at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida where he earned his Associate of Science degree in Recording Arts. After completion of a short, yet intense, twelve month audio engineering program, Penn decided to use his newfound skills to assist in the challenges of becoming a successful independent performing artist. His approach to stardom would first be by means of songwriting.
By 2005, Penn had already worked much alongside his sibling Dexter and other very close music partner, 1Hot. Within his talented surroundings he had grown into a very catchy, soulful and feel-good musical artist with thick, harmonic vocals to accompany it. Inspired by the late Nate Dogg, Timbaland, Pharrell and T.I., Penn improved on a style of music that merges both singing and rapping which he often refers to as Funk Rap.
Currently, Muzik Jones Drew is spearheading into a solo project guided by the Van Buren Court which is set for a Fall 2012 release. A goal of his is to one day open a school catered to young aspiring audio engineering, producing and songwriting professionals. Whilst signs show of soon becoming an artist to watch, he continues to grasp the attention of a higher league in the music industry.
