Early life
Blake Ortiz-Goldberg was born on December 16, 1996 in Southern California. He grew up in the Los Angeles area, including Huntington Beach, California. His grandfather (a member of 1960s East LA band Thee Counts) taught him guitar and singing during his youth. Ortiz-Goldberg cites a wide range of early musical influences, from Lou Reed and Linkin Park to Usher and Green Day.[2][3]
Career
In 2018, Ortiz-Goldberg moved to New York City and became a part of the Dimes Square scene.[1][3] He began making music in college, releasing his first single "Blake" during that time. In 2022, he opened for rapper Matt Ox.[4] In November 2025, he released an EP For Those with Eyes to See via Pizzaslime Records (his long-time netlabel).[5] Ortiz-Goldberg has built a reputation for "inventive and unconventional" live shows such as performing in an outdoor dining hut and closing a poetry reading at New York's KGB Bar. He co-manages and often collaborates with the NYC synth-pop duo Frost Children.[2][3] In 2026, he released the single "I Want More Money" (feat. Chloe Cherry).[6] This was followed by the release of his debut album City of Careless Angels, which was rated a 6.6 out of 10 by Pitchfork.[7]
Paper magazine described Blaketheman1000's music as a playful, "rap-meets-electro-pop" blend with "campy lyricism and light-hearted synths".[8] Ortiz-Goldberg himself notes that his genre is "a combination of everything I’ve been into: EDM, indie, emo, hip-hop, country and top 40".[2][9]
