Blaise Guld is an American singer/songwriter based in San Diego, California. Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he has been singing since he was a toddler. At age fourteen, he taught himself how to play the acoustic guitar, and before long, he was playing backyard shows for friends and family. His real passion, he found, is in songwriting, where he could express himself creatively. After playing in some bands, starring in some local theater productions, and attempting to write a rock musical (all with varied success), Blaise decided it was time for a new adventure. He moved to California at the age of 23 and soon thereafter started the band Mad Traffic with David Torr, Brian Fleck, Chris Murray, and Blaise Garza. They rocked up and down the coast of California and all the way to Austin, Texas. With stage experience from all the shows, Blaise began performing solo and honing his acoustic performance skills. Before he knew it, he was releasing his first solo LP called Past Forward, which was nominated for Best Pop Album at the 2014 San Diego Music Awards. Since then, Blaise has been writing and performing around the globe. He's had the pleasure of entertaining audiences with his music in many countries: Canada, the UK, Iceland, Norway, Amsterdam, Italy, Argentina, Australia, and even Antarctica! ​​
