Few artists have left as lasting an impression on contemporary music as James Blake. Since emerging from the UK post-dubstep scene in the early 2010s, the British producer and songwriter has spent 15 years operating at the intersection of soul, electronic and confessional writing. He’s influenced a generation of artists while answering to no singular genre, scene or label as one of the industry’s most formidable and diverse collaborators, working with Beyoncé, Frank Ocean, SZA, ROSALÍA, Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott and more, contributing to era-defining modern classics like Blonde, DAMN., ASTROWORLD, Lemonade and Motomami. More recently, Blake collaborated with revered UK Rapper Dave on his critically acclaimed album The Boy Who Played The Harp and crafted “Séance” alongside Ludwig Göransson, a standout from the Sinners movie soundtrack. His live performances have graced the iconic stages of Glastonbury, Coachella, Primavera Sound, Splendour in the Grass and Austin City Limits, just to name a few.
