Ian Blake
Canberra and London
Ian Blake enjoys folk music, early music and electronica, and his own music often shows traces of all three: he has worked as a composer for theatre, film, chamber music, dance and public art projects, while his production and sound engineering skills have earned him a Gold Disc and an ARIA nomination.
Originally from London, Ian made his Covent Garden debut as a boy soprano with the Bolshoi and the Royal Ballet, but hasn't had a gig there since. However, his subsequent career has been varied and far-ranging: mainly in the folk/world music scene, in venues from Alaska to Zanzibar. Now playing with transcultural combo SANS.
