Tommy Blaize
Tommy Blaize (born 5th March 1963) is a British singer, songwriter, and television performer, best known as the lead singer and long-time vocalist with the house band on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing.
He has sung on the programme since its launch in 2004 and is one of the few original contributors still involved, alongside Craig Revel Horwood and Anton Du Beke.
With a career spanning more than five decades, Blaize has worked with artists including Diana Ross, Queen, The Beach Boys, Amy Winehouse, Joe Cocker, Tina Turner, Stevie Wonder and Robbie Williams, and has released his own solo material.
Blaize was born in Toxteth, Liverpool, to a father who served in the Royal Navy. He was aged nine when he and his two younger brothers were spotted performing in the street by talent scout Hilda Fallon and subsequently performed their first professional gig as The Blaize Brothers , playing clubs across north-west England during the 1970s.
The trio were discovered by a local workman who introduced them to promoter Hilda Fallon, who helped launch their career.
After the group split when he was sixteen, Blaize studied at what is now the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts (LIPA).
He later spent five years in Ibiza and moved to London, working for two decades as a session musician and backing vocalist.
He also appeared as a child performer on the television talent show Junior Showtime.
