Blane Bent

Blane Bent is a visionary hip-hop artist and storyteller from Ithaca, New York, whose music blends Caribbean soundscapes, NY and Atlanta energy, anime, gaming, and raw autobiography into something entirely new. With a melodic flow and a sharp narrative voice, Blane turns his life experience—including time spent in foster care—into powerful stories of resilience, ambition, and transformation.

Previously known as “Bravo Blane” and later evolved through self mastery into “Bravo Bicasso” at the suggestion of his art director “Get Designs Here”, Blane recently returned to his roots, reclaiming his original name and sharpening his focus on his singular vision. Blane has also worked side by side for over a decade developing his soundscape with his personal engineer/good friend “DBrown Sounds”. Together they’ve created a blueprint for many artists in the upstate scene with a wide range of music to help diversify his audience.

An innovator, trailblazer, and trendsetter, he uses his platform to be a beacon of light for young people growing up in the system, showing that creativity, courage, and vision can carve a path forward. His albums Final Form, and Captain Black Jack Sparrow chronicle his artistic evolution, while his latest work, Digital Butterfly, pushes even further into uncharted sound and storytelling.
Blane Bent isn’t just part of the future of hip hop—he’s building a new legacy for those who come next.
