Born in Ireland in 1970. Perry Blake released his eponumous debut album in 1998.
It was to establish him as a massive cult artist across Europe. Critical reaction in the UK was also rapturous, with magazines like “Q” and “Uncut” shouting his praises from the rooftops. BBC’s Radio 1′s Jo Wiley made his first two releases her singles of the week.

Neatly described as one of the world’s best-kept secrets, Blake has released five studio albums, a soundtrack to French movie “Presque Rien”, and a live album recorded with an orchestra at Cirque Royale in Brussels.

In February 2005 Blake received a gold disc for two songs he co-wrote with Marco Sabiu for French icon Françoise Hardy. The album has also just won a French grammy.
In 2002 Blake received the prestigious Fnac award for contribution to culture in Portugal (previously won by P.J. Harvey and Lenny Kravitz).

Blake also recently had two songs featured in the movie “Trois Petites Filles”, directed by Cannes award winning director, Jean-Loup Hubbert.
He has collaborated with French Top 20 artist, Emilie Simon, performing a duet and scoring the choral arrangements.
