Jerome Blazé is an artist and producer based in Sydney, known for his distinctive sonic world. His own project refracts elements of electronic, trip-hop, soul and neoclassical through field recordings and analogue imperfection. A genre-fluid sound rooted in collaboration and texture.
His 2024 sophomore record Living Room drew comparisons to Moby, Rotary Connection and Air, with an expansive cross-genre sound palette. Strings, organ, saxophone, flute, group vocals, filtered through a finely crafted, collage-like electronic sensibility. Made entirely in Blazé’s un-treated living room, the album captured Sydney sonically, placing collaboration at the forefront of the music.
At the beginning of 2024, Blazé released a timeline for a curated, year-long experience. It included a collaborative gig series, club nights, a progression of videos all shot in his living room and a documentary based around the making of the record, all gradually revealed throughout the year. His ‘Golden Hour In The CBD’ gig series brought together some of Sydney’s most eclectic up-and-coming artists on a single lineup in unique Sydney CBD locations. The campaign culminated in a sold out launch at The Lansdowne, in which Blazé performed the album in its entirety alongside 13 other musicians.
Alongside his solo work, Blazé is increasingly recognised as a go-to producer and songwriter. His work can be heard on cuts with Chris Lanzon, Sarah Levins, Nick Ward, FRIDAY* and composing work for Louis Vuitton, Microsoft and Melbourne Fashion Week. Blazé also researches and lectures in popular music at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, bridging academic insight with studio intuition.
