  • Hey there Blake ! How are you doing?

All is good over my ways dude! Hope same goes for you.

  • We wanted to know the different music taste from our family members. How would you describe yours?

Haha I feel like not everyone can back my music taste but most days I listening to Drill, Aussie drill/rap, Grime, R&B and some classic Micheal Jackson. I got influenced by this type of music from the area & boys I grew up with/in and I ain’t complaining !

  • What do you listen to before surfing?

Most days I like amping myself up w/ some aussie/UK drill lol, I can imagine people reading this and thinking “tosser” haha. It all kinda depends what type of surf I’m wanting to have really, if I were wanting to cruise down some lines instead of trying to hack myself at an end section the music selection pre surf would definitely be a bit illchay.

  • Do you play an instrument?

I definitely go in & out of phases where I wanna learn a instrument but then come to realise I can’t be bothered learning. At first it was a saxophone in school lol, then guitar that’s been sitting in my room collecting dust for about 4/5 years. Massive fan of the piano tho.

  • Name your favorite artist no one knows about.

Huskii.

  • What song do you have on repeat?

I’m always choppin’ and changing through songs but it would definitely have to be something from Skepta or Huskii.

  • If you had to choose to listen one album forever, which one would it be?

Thriller by Micheal Jackson or Skepta Konnichiwa.

  • About the playlist you have prepared, how would you describe it?

Mix of emotions throughout the playlist. Could be listening to some pretty violent stuff then switch into to some MJ or chill R&B haha. Not really a surfers playlist but hey I don’t care haha…
