Before becoming a successful musician, Draper had a construction business with a speciality in roofing.[2]
Draper co-wrote the song "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft", which was not only successful with his band Klaatu, but also became a Top-40 hit for the Carpenters when they covered it in 1977.[3] Draper also co-wrote the Klaatu songs "Prelude" in 1977 and "December Dream" in 1981, which was a tribute to John Lennon.
He went on to record several solo albums in his home studio in Oak Ridges, Ontario after the break-up of the band in 1981. His former Klaatu bandmates Dee Long and John Woloschuk made appearances on his album Light Years Later, in 1997.[4]
Later on in the 1980s he returned to his roofing business, and then developed a career as a restaurateur alongside his continued music work.[2]
