Blake

Blake is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from the UK. He began his musical career singing and playing bass in a Joy Division covers band at school. Discovering he could write his own songs, he adopted the moniker ‘Blake’ after his favourite poet, William Blake.

His home recorded debut album, ‘Solomon's Tump’, caught the attention of London based indie label Ecto Music, who signed Blake’s band Karma Truffle for an E.P. release. After the dissolution of the band, Blake continued to make music at home and self-released a series of albums recorded on a Tascam portastudio.

2020’s lockdown-recorded LP, ‘1971’, led to Blake being signed by indie label, Subjangle. His 2022 release, ‘The Book On Love’ was featured in International Pop Overthrow's Best Albums of the Year list.

Blake’s song ‘Vinyl Junkie’ appears in the soundtrack to the Brit film, '24 Hours To Live Or Die'.

Blake's new album, ‘Louder Than Sound’, was recorded at Nam Studios by Jacob Myles Tyghe and is released on 1st December 2024 on Subjangle. For further information and a free download visit: https://www.thisisblake.com/
