Early life Blake Ortiz-Goldberg was born on December 16, 1996 in Southern California. He grew up in the Los Angeles area, including Huntington Beach, California. His grandfather (a member of 1960s East LA band Thee Counts) taught him guitar and singing during his youth. Ortiz-Goldberg cites a wide range of early musical influences, from Lou Reed and Linkin Park to Usher and Green Day, leading to the eclectic style he would later develop. He began making music in college, releasing his first single "Blake" during that time. He moved to New York City in 2018, which he credits as a catalyst for finding his musical niche in the burgeoning Dimes Square scene.

Career As Blaketheman1000, Ortiz-Goldberg established himself in New York's Dimes Square scene. Ortiz-Goldberg has built a reputation for "inventive and unconventional" live shows such as performing in an outdoor dining hut and closing a poetry reading at New York's KGB Bar. He co-manages and often collaborates with the NYC synth-pop duo Frost Children. This was followed by the release of his debut album City of Careless Angels, which was rated a 6.6 out of 10 by Pitchfork.'' Ortiz-Goldberg himself notes that his genre is "a combination of everything I’ve been into: EDM, indie, emo, hip-hop, country and top 40".
