He continued to perform in church, school choirs, county, and state choirs, as well as performing in talent shows and other competitions and events throughout the United States and Canada. Although singing was something that came naturally to Canty, basketball was his first true passion. At the age of eight, he started playing basketball and continued to play in high school until he was given a rule of basketball or singing.

Reid, Nicole Scherzinger, and Paula Abdul voted to advance Canty to the quarter-finals. Drew received more votes than Canty, implying that if Abdul sent the result to chaos, Drew would have advanced to the quarter-finals and Canty would have been disqualified. He and Rachel Crow found themselves in the bottom two of the quarter-finals. Crow was elected to the semi-finals by Cowell and Abdul, but Reid and Scherzinger decided against Canty to the semi-finals.
