WHO IS DRATHOVEN?
RECORDING ARTIST
Drathoven (aka Drabraham Lincoln) is a self-taught keyboard musician from Houston, Texas. Influenced by his musical mother who raised him in church, he fell in love with the art of creating music from the heart. He began his professional music career as a teen-aged in house producer and A&R rep for radio personality, Madd Hatta's Paid In Full Entertainment. After years of working with his mentor Crazy C at Paid in Full, Drathoven went on to become an independent producer/songwriter collaborating with heavy hitters like Errol "Poppi" McCalla (Destiny's Child, Beyonce), legendary new jack swing creator Teddy Riley (Blackstreet, Michael Jackson) and iconic 90s R&B titan Babyface (Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton). As he gained exposure in the industry, he started 4AllMusic group (4AM) along with songwriter Jada Pen to provide opportunities for aspiring creatives. Over the span of his lengthy music career, he has collaborated as a producer, songwriter, and engineer with some of the greatest in the industry. But it wasn't until he relocated to Los Angeles for a fresh start in 2017, that he began to develop a love for his own artistry. He credits his life as inspiration to his own unique sound. His first single Seasons featuring Luh Kel, Kayla Sharve (Citizen Queen), Neelam, Mac Royals (American Idol), and Tony Verra was the beginning of what he calls his "Feel Trip" - a journey of self-reflection. Since then, he has dropped various collaborative singles, features, and EPs (The Drabraham Lincoln Project and The Red Tape available on all music platforms).
"What leaves the heart, reaches the heart," says Drathoven. And as evidenced by his past and present music, Drathoven's heart has a lot more music to give.
