Talented Singer/Rapper/Songwriter, BLAZE was born on November 26, 1983. She is a mix of Filipina and African American. She writes lyrics for her own music. A Panama City, FL native born Ronika Penton has always had a love for music. She began writing poems in middle school as a form of therapy. BLAZE didn't really have an interest in TV or playing games or associating with many people as a child. After school, she can remember after finishing her school work, she would reward herself with music. Her mother and father had a stereo system that was taller then her, she'd turn the radio on and listen to music for hour’s everyday while her siblings would do other activities. She states "Adolescence is when you go through the biggest transformation in your life. I.E, crushes, heartbreaks, really falling in love, your first kiss, friendships and dealing with peers, that's when you begin to find out who you really are as a person." As she would write her poems, they would transform into lyrics. BLAZE also mentions that her poems/lyrics were very personal. She didn't share them with just anybody. "I can recall, sitting in class writing my poems and using this numerical/alphabetical code that my friends and I created this to write notes back and forth. That way if somebody found it, they couldn't figure it out. I still use that code today when I write in public! I've kept every little thing that I wrote in school up to this day!" BLAZE “A New Flava To Tha Game" is very self explanatory. “I have a love for all genres of music, whether it is Hip Hop, R&B, Rock, Club Music, Rap. Music should be fun and captivating.
