Who is he?
Originally hailing from Rhode Island, Blake is a versatile singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist whose influences stretch across genres, from classical to metal, covering nearly everything in between. His music captures a dynamic blend of drive and talent, merging diverse elements from folk, classic progressive rock, hard rock, and heavy metal to post-punk, synthwave, retrowave, and new wave. Blake’s sound is crafted to take listeners on an imaginative journey, weaving intricate melodies and rich harmonies that evoke both the familiar and the experimental.
In his recent work, Blake delves back into the ’80s sound that shaped his musical upbringing. Drawing inspiration from synths, drum machines, and airy guitars, he infuses his music with nostalgic yet fresh layers that revive the melodic vocals and harmonies of that era. This retro-inspired, synth-laden approach promises to transport listeners back to the heyday of experimental yet accessible music—appealing to anyone who fondly remembers the innovative sounds of the ’80s. If you’re a fan of that era, Blake’s latest tracks are bound to rekindle your love for the genre and remind you of the unforgettable spirit of ’80s pop and rock.
