He formed his own band, Bob Drake´s Cabinet of Curiosities in 2007. Drake´s engineering credits include mainstream artists like Ice Cube, Tina Turner and Engelbert Humperdinck.
Drake has released a number of solo albums, all written, performed and recorded by himself. François Couture at AllMusic described each successive album as “a more twisted aural journey than the previous one“.
