Biography

Being a big fish in a very small pond can be exhausting. Once you've spent all your opportunities, there's no room to grow or mature. You feel secure with what you have, even though there's so much more outside of your tiny pool.

In some ways of speaking, Blake Aaron is a fish.

Blake was born in a small cattle town in southeastern Colorado. From the time he first made it home, he began to bang on a toy keyboard, and has not left the keys since. He found Christ in seventh grade, and began writing immediately after. Blake has always maintained that these two events were "hardly coincidental."

Through High School, Blake spent much of his time writing and recording Christian songs in his dad's amateur basement studio. His father spent two years in the Nashville music scene, and always offered his help, but Blake hardly ever agreed. He liked to figure things out for himself, and he never had a lesson during his time in Colorado.

While trying to balance school, sports, plays, academic clubs, writing and recording, Blake also took on the position of worship leader at First Baptist Church his sophomore year. Picking songs, directing the praise band, and leading the congregation in worship were some of the activities he held most dear. He continued to serve in this position until the church gave him up to college, where he hopes to continue his ministry.

Now, Blake attends Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, hoping to fulfill a calling from God. He has since found that the opportunities there are endless, but there are also much bigger fish, and more of them. As he finds his way through a new ocean full of change, he can only hold on to one thing: the constant and unchanging grace of God.
