Blade Hudson is an American musician born & raised in the Mississippi Delta. A self-taught drummer and guitarist, he grew up immersed in the electric sounds of the blues. His grandfather Nathaniel "Little" Addison and late uncle Eddie Shaw, both respected musicians in the Chicago blues circuit, served as points of inspiration for Blade and became influential to his early musical development.

He learned Shaw was Howling Wolf's saxophonist & served as bandleader of the Wolf Gang and Little Addison ,a multi-instrumentalist, was a session musician most notably affiliated with Chess Records.

However, it wasn’t until age 14 that Blade found his passion for Rock ‘n’ Roll when hearing Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana for the first time. When his interests in guitar was heard by Eddie Vaan Shaw Jr., an older cousin and early mentor to Blade, he would give him pointers as well as one of his first guitars. Trading in the drumsticks for an electric guitar, Blade quickly became known throughout Mississippi as the “Bastard Child of the Blues.” He has cited Slash and Lenny Kravitz as being the core inspirations in developing his musical style, both equally serving as heavy influences that led him in the direction of becoming a Rock n Roll artist.
