“Normies” - can refer to people who don’t understand the internet, meme culture, gaming culture, or who don’t understand the habits of any sub-culture or group, from actors to doctors. Blakethechemist tells it like it is, it’s hard to deal with people who don’t understand you, your generation, your passions or the things you need to do to survive today’s world, but at least we can be creative, write a song and dance together.

I was fortunate to have wonderful piano teachers. Miriam Kato got me started. Mary Fleming taught me to perform in recital venues, and Joey Edelman brought jazz to my skill set. I’ve performed in rock bands and written original songs. I studied with Chip Boaz in Marin, and Blue Bear School, where I learned DJing, production, and flute. I recently graduated from ICON Collective music school in Los Angeles and look forward to performing and touring with Roland synths & keytar soon.
My strength as a musician and songwriter stems from my background in classical and jazz piano, and live performance bands. I’ve used a Roland Juno DS Synth for eight years and made my first sound sample pack Summer of 2023. I am currently learning to perform with a Roland AX Edge Keytar for soloing, choreography, touring and live shows.
