ARTIST BIO:  BLAZE IT J

Blaze It J, is a trailblazing songwriter and music producer with roots in the vibrant city of Detroit, MI. Blaze It J’s journey began at just 9 years old when his love for creative writing blossomed into poetry and short stories. By 12, those stories transformed into original songs, including the cheeky “Janet From Another Planet,” which he proudly performed for his mom. Inspired by watching his stepfather play the organ at church, Blaze It J taught himself piano, guided by a natural ear for melody and some foundational tips from his stepfather. One of his early standout moments came during his senior year at Cass Tech, where he created a custom beat for a talent show performance that had the entire crowd on their feet. After graduating from the University of Michigan, life took over, and Blaze It J set music aside, discouraged by the challenges of pitching demos to record labels. However, fate had a different plan. Years later, a Casio keyboard gifted to his daughter for her 8th birthday reignited his creative spark.

Soon, Blaze It J was back at it—crafting beats, writing songs, and embracing the rise of independent music production. Armed with new tools like Generative AI and platforms such as CD Baby, he began producing not just songs but fully realized music videos. Blaze It J’s unique sound fuses Electronic Pop with an R&B twist, creating a style that’s fresh, dynamic, and undeniably catchy. His debut album, “The Journey,” drops in Spring 2025, with the romantic dance single “Tonight I Wanna Dance” set to lead the charge in March. His follow-up single, “Hostage,” promises infectious melodies, driving baselines, and razor-sharp lyrics that are sure to captivate fans worldwide. The Journey Album features the vocals of the very talented and beautiful, La’Blazzie.
