Drake began his career by acting in a local television show in Canada. He became lucky when a friend of his had a father who worked as a talent scout for acting jobs. He asked Drake if he wanted to act in a television show. After Drake appeared in more than 100 episodes, he became very popular with teens. This helped when he moved from acting into music. When Drake became famous, it helped other Canadians become popular in music. Whenever someone from one area becomes famous for singing or acting, that may help others get into the industry as well.
However, there were others at the time who were from Canada that became popular Canadian artists too like Justin Bieber so it is difficult to determine who catapulted the rise of Canadian artists first.
