Biography

Born Feb. 18, 1996. The music of Forest Blakk comes from an unshakable sense of purpose, a belief in building beauty from life's most painful moments. Growing up in Montreal, with time spent in Florida and Jamaica, the singer/songwriter first took up guitar as a refuge from his chaotic home life, then spent years learning to channel his most complex emotions into song. With his breakthrough single “If You Love Her” -a fall 2020 release that marks his Billboard debut- Blakk has brought his heart-on-sleeve songwriting to a whole new level of resonance, again proving music's power to transform both audience and artist. Starkly arranged and deceptively simple, the song unfolds with a raw intensity as Blakk pays tribute to a former partner, infusing every line with his soul-stirring vocals. With its intricate detail and lucid self-expression, “If You Love Her” reveals the lyrical finesse Blakk first cultivated by writing poems as a kid. At age 15, he began exploring his musical side by learning to play a guitar given to him by his grandmother. By that point, Blakk had endured a lifetime's worth of trouble: born in Montreal, he spent much of his childhood with his mother (who struggled with addiction) and his stepfather (a notorious drug dealer), moving around constantly and finding himself on and off the streets after his stepdad went to prison. Soon after moving to Calgary at age 21, he formed a band that later earned a JUNO nomination. In the years following the band's dissolution, Blakk experienced a period of profound change, ultimately embracing the more soulful and folk-leaning sound that defines his music today. One of the first songs embodying that sound, “Love Me” earned attention from heavyweights like Pete Ganbarg (president of A&R at Atlantic Records) and legendary music exec Seymour Stein, paving the way for Blakk's signing to Atlantic in 2015.

LYRICS

I love the way your hair gets in your eyes
And I love the way that you can't tell a lie
You’re an angel and I can't believe you're mine
Nothing ordinary, you’re extraordinary
Pretty good at being wrong for my whole life
But with you, I know there's one thing I got right

On days when it's easy, on days when it's hard
You don't have to be nervous, just fall in my arms
My love is a sure thing that you'll never lose
No matter what this life puts us through
I choose you

It's the way you make me wanna say thеse words
The way that you still want me at my worst
It's thе vow that says, "I’ll be here, darlin’, for better or for worse"
It ain't momentary, so

On days when it’s easy, on days when it's hard
You don't have to be nervous, just fall in my arms
My love is a sure thing that you'll never lose
No matter what this life puts us through
I choose you

I do, I do, I do
I choose you
I do, I do

On days when it’s easy, on days when it's hard
Well, I promise it's worth it, just fall in my arms
As long as my heart beats, I swear that it's true
No matter what this life puts us through
I choose you

I do, I do, I do
I choose you
I do, I do, I do
I choose you
