Blake Wood

Born in Kentucky and raised in Wake Forest, NC, Blake Wood draws from personal experiences to shape the songs he writes and sings. If you attended a house party or bonfire around Wake Forest a few years ago, there’s a good chance you might have seen Blake pulling out the guitar to entertain his friends. He draws inspiration for performing music from his idols in the 80’s and 90’s country genre. A traditionalist at heart, Blake perfectly combines the sound of today and the storytelling and emotion of yesterday in his songs.

Music wasn’t an accident for Blake, it’s part of his DNA. He has been around it since he was young. Born into a highly musical family that includes 3 older brothers, his mom Lori, and dad Steven. As a songwriter, Blake writes what he lives. Some writers and singers must pretend to know about certain lifestyles to pull them off well. Blake can draw on what he knows from experience like tearing up backroads and off-roading, wetting a line fishing for large mouth bass, and driving old trucks. Blake drove his old 2001 GMC Sierra 1500 until it hit 300,000 miles.

Following your heart and your passion may not be the quick path, but it’s the right path. The people in Nashville have noticed Blake; he signed his first publishing deal as a songwriter in early 2023. That was followed quickly by his first record deal. He’s signed to the new Deluge Records Nashville (DRN).
