FM4 Indiekiste presents Forest Blakk
Forest Blakk has spent his career soundtracking love stories of all kinds, amassing over 1.3 billion career streams. His intimate and relatable Every Little Detail EP, featuring his breakout Platinum-certified smash single “If You Love Her,” earned his official US chart debut on Billboard’s Emerging Artists chart, his national US TV debut on ABC’s Live with Kelly & Ryan, top 30 placement on the Hot AC radio chart & saw the singer/songwriter collaborate with Meghan Trainor on a stunning duet version. Meanwhile, Blakk’s follow-up Gold-certified single “Fall Into Me” (co-written alongside Matchbox Twenty front man Rob Thomas and Gregg Wattenberg) reached top 30 on the Hot AC radio chart in addition to being featured in a perfectly fitting ad campaign for Kay Jewelers. Blakk’s catalog has further become a sonic-staple on Netflix’s Love Is Blind, with him having been named the “patron saint” of the show by creators with the Los Angeles Times pointing out “(Blakk’s) earnest mid-tempo love songs turn up on ‘Love is Blind’ nearly as often as hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey.”
Highlighted as one of PEOPLE Magazine’s “talented emerging artists making their mark on the musical landscape” and deemed an “artist on the rise” by Billboard, Blakk made his debut with his 2018 EP Minutes and follow-up 2020 sophomore EP Sideways – the latter of which saw Blakk collaborate with the likes of Will IDAP (Train, Florida Georgia Line), Nick Long (King Princess), Carl Ryden (Ricky Martin, David Guetta), Ollie Green (Freya Ridings, Gavin James) & more to tell a love story through an incredibly realistic and candid lens. The 6-track collection featured singles “I Wish I Knew” (deemed an “introspective look at love and love lost” by American Songwriter) and uplifting anthem of resilience “Put Your Hands Up,” which debuted on an episode of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. 2024 marked the release of his EP Undone (Love & Loss), featuring “The Anchor & The Kite” which clinched 7 awards across various film festivals including Best Animation Film at Cannes World Film Festival, Best Animated Music Video at Rome Music Video Awards, Best Animation and Best Original Score at Rome International Movie Award and more. A compelling live performer, Blakk has toured extensively supporting James Blunt, James Arthur, NEEDTOBREATHE, Gavin James, Dean Lewis & more – in addition to his own sold-out North American headline runs.
