BLAZE
Blaze are one of those rare artists in this business whose music is truly timeless. Their catalogue totals over one-hundred sixty published works, making it the largest catalogue produced by any single entity in the genre. As artist and businessmen, they have been involved in almost every facet of the music business. From producing to performing to managing to owning and promoting clubs to distributing music, not many can come close to the artistry and business of Blaze. The foundation for what they are now most respected is without questions - great spiritually in uplifting songs. Blaze have influences that range from Stevie Wonder to James Taylor to John Coltrane and beyond. But it’s the combination of deeply soulful melodies, their blend of Afro, Jazz, Soul and Gospel, and the positive world views in their lyrics that makes most people compare them to the legendary Earth, Wind & Fire.
The Blaze sound caught the ear of then Motown Vice-president of A&R, Timmy Regisford, who immediately put them to work on numerous Motown projects. The Blaze sound was capturing the spirit of dancers in the clubs and the hearts of radio listeners in New York. With so many original productions receiving commercial success, the team was in high demand as remix producers. As remixers, Blaze have worked on projects for Diana Ross, Aretha Franklin, Macy Gray, Jamiroquai, Lisa Stansfield, Babyface, and countless others.from DEFECTED. By MJNC
