BLAKE AARON

Guitarist Blake Aaron has taken the Contemporary Jazz world by storm recently with a total of SEVEN #1 Billboard Singles!
Following in the footsteps of the smash album Color and Passion, which had THREE #1 Billboard singles and one #1 Song of the Year on the Radiowave charts for the year 2019, Blake Aaron’s upcoming album release, Love and Rhythm rockets out of the gate with another THREE #1 Billboard singles, “She’s the One,” “Feels So Right,” and “Dreamland.” Now a Billboard #1 producer himself as well as artist with his self-produced, silky- smooth “Fall for You,” as well as producing Billboard #1 songs for other artists, Aaron also teams up with hit producers Darren Rahn for the #1 Billboard single, “Groovers and Shakers,” the #1 for all of 2019 Radiowave single, “Drive,” with Greg Manning for the #1 Billboard single “Feels So Right,” and with fellow hitmaker Adam Hawley for THREE #1 Billboard singles, “Sunday Strut,” featuring saxophonist Najee, “Dreamland,” and the most recent #1 Billboard hit, “She’s the One.”

Named “a genius on the guitar” by the Los Angeles Times, “Aaron’s guitar playing is stellar” by The Jazz World, ”Take your pick-he’s a good picker!” by Jazz Weekly, “…one of the greatest treasures as a guitarist,” by Najee, and “a guitar player’s guitarist” by Critical Blast, Blake Aaron launched his career as an L.A. studio musician/sideman and has recorded and/ or performed with artists such as Philip Bailey (Earth Wind and Fire), Sheila E., Frank Stallone, The Alan Parsons Project, Bobby Womack and Carlos Santana (Womack-Save the Children), The Gap Band, Lakeside, Dynasty, Licle Anthony, Ronnie Laws, Keiko Matsui, Najee, Warren Hill, Bill Champlin (Chicago), Ellis Hall (Tower of Power) and many others.
