Blake

Blake is a rising songwriter and artist from Queenstown, New Zealand, known for creating Pop music with purpose. Her music blends depth and emotion with undeniable hooks, crafting a sound that is as thoughtful as it is addictive.

Blake taught herself to write songs at 15, learning piano through books featuring artists like The Fray and Amy Winehouse. Her early songwriting influences laid the foundation for a style that’s both introspective and accessible—honest storytelling wrapped in sharp, melodic pop.

She first entered the music industry as a top-line writer in the drum and bass world, gaining international experience alongside a nomination for 'Best Vocalist' at the 2017 DnB Awards. These formative years gave her the creative range and confidence to carve out her own space in the Pop genre, where her soulful voice and writing instincts shine.

Since returning to NZ in 2020, Blake has earned recognition from platforms like BBC Introducing London, Triple J, and major NZ radio stations including ZM. Her breakout single, 'The Gift You Gave Me', hit 50,000 streams in its first week—a testament to her growing audience and resonant songwriting.

A captivating live performer, Blake was recently named one of Rolling Stone AU/NZ’s Up-and-Coming Artists. With appearances at Live Nation's One's To Watch and Cross Street Music Festival, she continues to build momentum as she gears up to release new music in 2025.
