Drew Scott Biography

Television personality Drew Scott was born in 1978 in British Columbia, Canada. Today, Drew is best known as one half of the team starring on the hit HGTV series Property Brothers, alongside his twin brother Jonathan. But long before his rise to prominence, Drew Scott grew up in the Vancouver area, launching his first business venture when he was still in elementary school. Drew and his brother were also frequently inspired by their father, who worked in the entertainment business, so it’s little surprise that Drew and Jonathan would end up with careers on the small screen.

As children, Drew was very active in his community’s theater and performance programs, appearing on stage in various plays and experimenting with sketch comedy for awhile. By the time he was in his late teens, Drew and his brother were investing in real estate; the twin passions for real estate and entertainment would of course produce the perfect match for what would become a television empire by the time they were in their thirties.

In 2004, Drew and his brother simultaneously founded Scott Brothers Entertainment and Scott Real Estate; the former addressed film and television production work, and the later the men’s “day job,” which involved purchasing dilapidated home and flipping them for profit. It wasn’t long before Drew and Jonathan shot their own pilot, shopping it to various networks.

Of course, HGTV picked up the series and the rest, as they say, is history. Property Brothers aired for the first time in 2011, and has led to a number of spin-offs: Buying and Selling (2012 to present), Brother vs. Brother (2013 to present), and Property Brothers: At Home (which aired in 2014.) Drew also competed on Dancing with the Stars for the show’s twenty-fifth season. His brother made a surprise visit to the competition during an episode, joining Drew’s live performance, much to the delight of the audience.
