Photos by Jessie Eshak – Blake Rose is someone to be excited about. The Perth-raised singer/songwriter is primed to become an international export from our local pop scene, drawing a whole heap of hype incredibly early on in his career. There are reasons for this though, whether it be signing to one of the world’s biggest booking companies Paradigm, or his past work capturing the attention of basically everyone, mopping up four million streams (and counting) while turning the heads of tastemakers including Zane Lowe. He’s an artist set to skip the Australian market entirely, ignoring your stock-standard, triple j-influenced glow-up for something bigger and more international.
