Acerca de Blaze

Blaze is comprised of singer/songwriter Josh Milan and songwriter/producer/engineer/DJ Kevin Hedge. The songwriting/production team has been recording dance-oriented music for over 20 years, and is considered by many of dance music’s elite to be pioneers in the soulful house genre. In 2005, Blaze wrote and produced the international hit "Most Precious Love" feat. Barbara Tucker, which landed them the U.K. House Music Awards “Song Of The Year” and shot up to a NO.1 position on Billboard’s Hot Dance Club Play Chart. It appears 2007 will be another stellar year for Blaze, having been commissioned by Sony BMG with the latest hot remixes of Beyonce’s “Listen” and Jennifer Hudson’s “Family,” from the Academy Award nominated film “Dreamgirls,” both of which have reached anthem status amongst both dance floors and elite DJs around the globe. Their most recent creation, a song entitled “One Dream,” was picked as the performance song for Cirque Du Soleil and performed by Louie Vega & The Elements Of Life Orchestra in front of millions of viewers around the world during the opening performances at Super Bowl XLI in February of 2007.
