Washington, DC native Blake Holmes is the real deal as an artist, a producer, an engineer, director, and entrepreneur. His talents are endless and have been cultivated over the past 10 years. Growing up with music being a regular part of his life due to his loving adoptive parents, Blake Holmes was a young genius in the making.

This coupled with his writing, directing, and engineering for other major artists has made Blake Holmes as multifaceted as they come.
Music was the pathway to overcoming his struggles, submerging himself in its sound to fill the void stemming from loss and trauma of his past. His upcoming EP, “Time Heals You. Almost” will be an open book of his life and experiences over the years. What fans can look forward to across the 5-track project is Blake Holmes telling a tale of the deepest parts of himself over vivid lyrical melodies that depict in perfect audible visuals, every emotion and thought. He’s endured many ups and downs over the past few years and this EP is his musical therapy to express everything he’s being holding inside. Nothing is off limits; his mountains, the climb, overcoming its obstacles, right down to the scars that still linger in his victory. The EP marks a new beginning to his path ahead as an artist and human being. “Time Heals You. Almost” is motivation to listeners to never give up on their dreams, and a memento that reminds Blake Holmes of his worth and purpose as an artist.
