Blake Carrington is creating a really loud buzz on the urban music scene as a songwriter, arranger, and singer. This Harlem vocalist is about to take the R&B/Hip-Hop world by storm with his new album Traveling Man featuring the burning hot single Lie.

Blake Carrington is well respected by his peers within the Hip Hop and R&B community for the contributions that he has made to the urban music scene as a songwriter, arranger, and singer.

As a gifted teen, this natural tenor polished his vocal style and cultivated his powerful 5-octave range in church; establishing a rock-solid musical foundation with deep spiritual roots, which has enabled Blake to fine-tune and grow with the various trends and constant changes within the recording industry.

Throughout his journey, paying his dues and honing his craft, this multi-dimensional artist has emerged as a bright shining star on the music horizon. Blake made no hesitation to make the move to New York City from Cali, and in a matter of days was booked on several shows including the famous Amateur Night Apollo Theatre. He proved he belonged in New York when he unanimously won his first performance at the Apollo all on his own. There was no turning back; Blake started grinding, writing, and singing songs on hooks for different underground artists (known and unknown). Blake's sultry soulful vocals have graced numerous Hip-Hop and R&B traxs from (Pharoahe Monch, AG Andre the Giant, Greg Nice / Smooth B, Large Professor, Camp Lo, Genard Parker, Jesse West, DJ Premier) just to name a few.

Blake Carrington was featured on the Michelob freestyle, Funk Master Flex Vol. II (Mixed Tape) Loud Records Certified Gold. In addition to recording in the studio, he continued to submit compositions to various Top R&B artist including Michael Jackson, Allure, Bobby Brown, DAngelo, Bad Boy recording artist (Carl Thomas), and wrote songs for David Jam Hall production for placement. He also completed production on numerous in-house projects with various distinguished producers including, Darren Lighty and Eddie F, Kenny Smoove, Lord Finesse, DJ Kid Capri, Sean (158) Devereaux, Jesse West, Houston B., DJ Premier and Diamond D (of DITC).

Shortly after Blake met up with the DJ Kid Capri, and began touring across the country, he worked behind the scenes learning the ins and outs of the business. When he returned to NYC he was busy in the studio continuously recording songs, blending grooves and raw beats and creating a catalogue of urban music.

Today residing in Harlem , NY , Blake is a distinguished entrepreneur, starting his independent record label, BTL Music. With new production from Jim Nice, 2Beats, AL Scratch and Jesse West, Blake has independently released his first project: Blake Carrington, the Traveling Man. Blake also released The First R&B Street Soul Mix-Tape Vol. I. Blake's spiritual interpretation of rhythm, unceasing passion, and dedication to his craft is the driving influence behind his longevity and success and is what makes Blake a force to be reckoned with.
