In 2015 Blaine was in a near fatal accident. While riding his bike he was struck and run over by a semi-truck leaving him with many broken bones and unable to walk. After several surgeries, a couple weeks in the hospital, and months of recovery, he dedicated his life to telling stories through music. He branded himself with the name Graffick, a nod toward his admiration of illustrative art and design, and began diving deeper into his relationship with electronic music and sound design. Graffick has released a variety of material over the past 10 years, including 3 albums, 5 EPs, and a variety of singles. Spectra represents his fourth album, and serves as his most bold collection of tracks -- offering sleek and powerful production with mesmerizing sound design. Spectra is a collection of tracks that were created from 2021-2023, recorded at Graffick’s home studio in San Diego. A synth-forward aesthetic emphasizes atmosphere and melody alike, focusing on uptempo music with an inventive sound design. The underlying theme to the album is the concept of the many spectrums that are present in our life shaping how one experiences their existence. ​Graffick currently lives in Portland, Oregon where he continues to study and compose music.
