Blake Allen – Season 2 – Episode 131
Friday, 17 June, 2022

Hello Broad-WHAT? fans, and thank you for joining us here for another amazing episode! This time we are traveling away from the lower mainland and off to the Big Apple itself with the lovely and incredibly (and I do mean incredibly) talented Blake Allen. Blake is a totally new friend to me, and I was so incredibly excited to meet and speak to him. Blake is a composer and musician operating out of New York City, though he grew up in El Paso, Texas which he candidly refers to as “the Winnipeg of the south.” He’s been in the big city for over a decade now, and might I say, he’s killing it! Blake started music very early in childhood, learning piano from his mother and quickly realizing his passion extended beyond just a hobby, and was something that he could see himself pursuing. Since being in New York, Blake has done so much cool stuff - including working with the world famous Drag Queen Tina Burner. I don’t want to say too much more, because this is an absolutely amazing interview, and you should be listening to it, not reading a recap from me! Check Blake out on his Instagram @blakeallenpresents or on his website www.blakeallen.org.
