Utilizing elements of trip hop, gothic poetry, and traditional eastern music, the songs of Blake Chen aka The Hungry Ghost peek into worlds filled with mysterious characters in strange situations.

Having been compared to artists of a similar brooding persuasion ("imagine Lou Reed produced by Tricky", says one reviewer), the ghost admits to influences such as Edgar Allan Poe, Leonard Cohen, and Portishead.

"I love art that evokes a sense of romantic terror," confesses the Singapore-born songsmith. "Though these songs have personal and political significance, my main aim is to take the listener on a surreal journey."
