Blake Inc. is the professional alias of German vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Mario Dederichs under which he releases original video game music, chiptunes, as well as (mainly) heavy metal covers of popular songs, which he then uploads to YouTube.
Born to a non-musical family, he started making music in 1999. Starting out as a keyboarder, he is now primarily a vocalist, also playing guitars and bass.
Heavily inspired by Japanese video game music, he spent his teenage years as a composer for freeware and amateur game projects under his birth name, Mario Dederichs. In 2005, he started his first band, punk rock band Bad Sunday. Originally a bass player, he soon switched to vocals as his main instrument. Stints as guitar player and backing vocalist for emocore band BEAM, lead vocalist for short-lived sleaze rock band Backseat Education, and principal songwriter for EDM outfit Baibureta Overdryve and eurodance project The Love Dictators followed suit.
In 2010, he and a few of his previous collaborators formed hard rock band Zero Division, where he remain as the band's lead vocalist, co-songwriter and lead lyricist.
He first used the Blake Inc. moniker in 2010, when he created a YouTube channel of the same name where he (and friends) made metal covers of well-known songs. The name has since evolved into the alias he uses for his original video game and chiptune music as well. Read more on Last.fm.
