= BLESZ =

Ennio Burleson (born June 16, 1981), also known as BLESZ is a songwriter, poet, DJ and MC. He writes and composes songs for himself and others. Born and raised in Amsterdam East he developed a love for music at a young age. He started out as a DJ in 1996 and the name BLESZ stuck to him ever since.

While pursuing a career in various fields his love for music kept pulling him back to create music. After severe health issues in 2002 and 2011, BLESZ realized that life is too short to not do what you love. This inspired him to write lyrics again for himself and other vocalists. His style is versatile, but recognizable and his tracks are characterized by honesty, love, passion and criticism.

Spoken word
After becoming the host of the English spoken word poetry event Word Up in Amsterdam, a new dimension opened up for BLESZ. Although related to rap, the spoken word poetry and slam scene stimulated BLESZ to create pieces for a brand new  audience which also brought him to many places around the globe.

B.U.C.
BLESZ is also a member of the urban live band B.U.C. and it is here where he got more familiar with arranging music and songwriting. B.U.C. won the Dutch final of Emergenza (2017) and went on to compete in the Emergenza world final in Germany.
