Forest Blakk

RIAA Platinum-certified artist, Forest Blakk has spent his career soundtracking love stories of all kinds, including "I Choose You" — which arrived just days after his very own Nashville wedding to Tooley Jones in a beautiful ceremony covered exclusively by PEOPLE Magazine.

Blakk's new music follows last year's intimate and relatable Every Little Detail EP, featuring his breakout Platinum-certified smash single "If You Love Her," which alone has amassed over 450 million total global streams, earned Blakk his official US chart debut on Billboard's Emerging Artists chart, his national US TV debut on ABC's Live with Kelly & Ryan, top 30 placement on the Hot AC radio chart & saw the singer/songwriter collaborate with Meghan Trainor on a stunning duet version. Meanwhile, Blakk's follow-up single "Fall Into Me" (co-written alongside Matchbox Twenty front man Rob Thomas and Gregg Wattenberg) reached top 30 on the Hot AC radio chart and Gold-certification status in his native Canada, in addition to being featured in a perfectly fitting ad campaign for Kay Jewelers. His songs have also become a staple of Netflix's hit show Love is Blind — having been named the "patron saint" of the show by creators with the Los Angeles Times pointing out" (Blakk's) earnest mid-tempo love songs turn up on 'Love is Blind' nearly as often as hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey."

Highlighted as one of PEOPLE Magazine's" talented emerging artists making their mark on the musical landscape" and deemed an" artist on the rise" by Billboard, Blakk made his debut with his 2018 EP Minutes and follow-up 2020 sophomore EP Sideways — the latter of which saw Blakk collaborate with the likes of Will IDAP (Train, Florida Georgia Line), Nick Long (King Princess), Carl Ryden (Ricky Martin, David Guetta), Ollie Green (Freya Ridings, Gavin James) & more to tell a love story through an incredibly realistic and candid lens. The 6-track collection featured singles "I Wish I Knew" (deemed an "introspective look at love and love lost" by American Songwriter) and uplifting anthem of resilience "Put Your Hands Up," which debuted on an episode of ABC's Grey's Anatomy. A compelling live performer, Blakk has toured extensively supporting NEEDTOBREATHE, Gavin James, Dean Lewis & earlier this year embarked on a sold out 17-date North American headline tour.

For almost his entire life, 24-year-old Israel-born, LA-based singer-songwriter Mergui (Jonathan Mergui; Saban Music Partners) has made it his mission to push the limits of modern pop music, bringing both unguarded emotion and visionary imagination to everything he creates. In 2022, Mergui’s debut single "Sucks To Know You (F.U.)" from his first English-language EP, Dark Side of the Rainbow, amassed millions of streams. He has also achieved the triumph of opening for both Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 to a captivated audience of 65,000. With his new sophomore EP, Shadows of Blue, Mergui creates a one-of-a-kind body of work that fully captures all the pain and beauty in staying true to your passion, no matter how daunting the journey. Co-produced by Mergui in collaboration with Israeli songwriter/producer K-KOV and the legendary David Foster (Mariah Carey, Madonna, Michael Jackson), the record matches Mergui’s sophisticated musicality and sublimely soulful vocal presence with a newly deepened devotion to total vulnerability in his lyrics. With his next project, Mergui hopes to create an immersive journey where each listener can forge a distinct connection—a shared experience where every note resonates uniquely with their own story. The first single, “On My Mind” is available everywhere now!
