It’s a beat that demanded a shift from his usual style, pushing him to explore new lyrical territories. The result? A track that’s both refreshingly different and deeply personal.
Blakery’s journey is the stuff of legend. Starting from his basement studio, he’s climbed his way to recognition with sheer grit and talent. The lyrics of “GRACE” are a nod to this journey — a narrative of hard work, resilience, and unshakeable self-belief.

But “GRACE” isn’t just about Blakery’s past; it’s a motivational anthem for anyone facing their own battles. He’s turned his trials and tribulations into fuel for his art, creating a track that encourages listeners to rise above their circumstances. “Give up never / Only change is the weather / Trials and tribulations / That’s what made me a beast” — these lines hit hard, reminding us that greatness often comes from enduring and overcoming adversity.
What sets Blakery apart is his ability to blend relatable storytelling with a unique sound. His influences — Earl Sweatshirt, XXXTENTACION, and A$AP Rocky — are evident, yet he brings something entirely his own to the table. With three albums and over ten singles under his belt, Blakery has already accumulated more than two million streams, a testament to his growing fanbase and undeniable talent.
“GRACE” is a track that demands attention. It’s a blend of hypnotic beats and poignant lyrics that stays with you long after the music stops. Whether you’re a long-time fan or new to Blakery’s work, this single is sure to resonate on multiple levels.

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!
His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.
“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”
The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:
Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.
“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.
“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”
Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
