Blake is a British classical crossover quartet that formed via Facebook in 2007. The four original members - Stephen Bowman, Ollie Baines, Jules Knight, and Dominic Tighe - met, formed their group, and contacted their manager-to-be via Facebook. They quickly landed a major record contract and got multiple high profile performance opportunities, which made them almost literally an overnight success.

Stephen Bowman, a bass-baritone native of Bath, was surprised to find that he was unable to hold down his day job because Blake was so successful. Stephen trained at Guildhall School of Music and was a soloist before joining Blake.

Jules Knight is a baritone and native of Sussex, England. As a youngster, he was a choirboy at Winchester Cathedral. He also discovered a love for acting, which he continued along with singing throughout his school years.

Dominic Tighe, a baritone native of Devon, was an established actor before forming Blake. In fact, he just recently won a Commendation at the Ian Charleson Awards for his acting.

Ollie Baines, a tenor from Wiltshire, was a musician (who also loved adventure) before joining Blake. In his pre-Blake days, Ollie scaled Mount Kilimanjaro and rafted down the Nile. As you might expect, Ollie enjoys getting to travel around the globe performing.

In 2009, Dominic left Blake to pursue his acting career. He was replaced by Humphrey Berney.
