Blackie

Blackie, born Michael Jordan LaCour, is a noise artist hailing from LaPorte, Texas. Since emerging around 2007, Blackie has crafted a distinctive sound characterized by intense, loud performances with his own custom-built PA systems, reflecting a deep-rooted passion for pushing sonic boundaries. His music is often marked by raw energy and emotional weight, with albums like *Wilderness of North America* (2008) emerging after significant personal changes, including the loss of his father and leaving college. Blackie’s work blends experimental beats and harsh noise textures, and despite experimenting briefly with performing under his real name in 2020, he remains widely known as Blackie. His unique approach to sound and performance stems from a family tradition—his father played in a band and showed him how to build PA systems—and a desire to create an overwhelming audio experience that physically impacts the listener.
