SOUNDS GULD...
The Guy Behind the Music
Blaise Guld is an American singer-songwriter whose music is a testament to the beauty of being different. With heartfelt honesty, humor, and a touch of philosophical wonder, Blaise crafts songs that embrace life’s quirks—turning pain, love, and the complexity of existence into melodies that connect people across the world.
​
Originally from the suburbs of Philadelphia, Blaise’s journey into music began at an early age, singing as a toddler and teaching himself acoustic guitar by fourteen. In a society that often valued academic achievement over creativity, music became his outlet—a way to be seen and heard when he felt invisible. His passion for songwriting quickly eclipsed everything else, offering a space where he could express the parts of himself that didn’t always fit into the world around him.
​
In his early twenties, Blaise chased that passion across the country, landing in San Diego to start a new adventure. He co-founded the band Mad Traffic, blending rock, pop, and alternative sounds on stages up and down the California coast. But it was his solo work where he found his truest voice—one that speaks openly about mental health, self-acceptance, and what it means to embrace your own weirdness in a world that often demands conformity.
​
Blaise’s music is inspired by the contradictions of life—the light and the dark, the beauty and the absurdity. His surroundings, whether the crashing waves of San Diego or the icy stillness of Antarctica, seep into his lyrics and melodies. His latest album, Little Strange, captures this ethos—an unapologetic celebration of what makes us different, blending 90s alt-rock nostalgia with genre-bending sounds. The title track serves as a self-portrait, inviting others to embrace their own inner quirkiness.
​
A deep empathy for both people and animals is woven into Blaise’s work. As someone with Tourette’s syndrome, depression, and anxiety, he is unafraid to speak candidly about mental health struggles—turning vulnerability into a bridge between himself and his audience. Whether through poignant ballads or satirical musings, his lyrics invite listeners to laugh, cry, and feel less alone.
​
What makes Blaise unique is his unwavering dedication to truth in all its forms—the awkward, the painful, the funny, and the profound. He writes songs for those who feel out of place, for anyone who’s ever wondered if they’re too strange or too broken to belong. His music says: Be strange. Be kind. Feel it all.
From San Diego to South Georgia Island, Blaise’s voice travels far—but at its core, his music always finds its way back to the hearts of those who need it most.
