What I Really Think About Drake by Degrassi's Raymond Ablack

Hello GlobalGrind! It's @RayAblack!

The band on Degrassi is called the Stüdz, which is a mix of the words “students”, “dudes” and “studs”. In real life the same guys in that band on the show – Shane Kippel who plays Spinner, Dalmar Abuzeid who plays Danny, Jamie Johnston who plays Peter Stone, Scott Paterson who plays Johnny, and myself – formed a band in called Sound Speed.

We named ourselves that because we’re a band of actors, and on set we would hear “lock it up rolling sound, sound speed and action.” We heard those words everyday, so we figured what more fitting a name for a band of actors than Sound Speed. It lets us know to take action when we hear it.

The music from our band in real life is different from the music the band does on the show.
