In this powerful episode of Music Industry Insights Worldwide, we sit down with emerging artist BzyBlaxe – also known as Blake – whose journey through trauma, military service, and self-discovery has led to a profound awakening through music.

Having only recorded music for 7 months but writing for nearly 6 years, BzyBlaxe shares how songwriting became a lifeline amidst grief, guilt, and gender dysphoria. From witnessing a life-altering accident involving their twin sister, to navigating the intense world of Navy SEALS training, and later grappling with self-worth, substance abuse, and gender identity – this conversation is raw, reflective, and deeply human.

Blaxe opens up publicly for the first time about living as non-binary, the silence that often surrounds gender identity in close circles, and the toll of unspoken truths. This is a moving reminder of why giving voice to your truth matters – for healing, for clarity, and for connection.

We also discuss:

  • The emotional intelligence behind their lyrics
  • Why music wasn't the plan, but became the purpose
  • Artistic resilience and surviving the weight of expectations
  • Empowering others through vulnerability and authenticity
