He later appeared in various television commercials, and was the poster child for White House Juice, as "Jimmy Juice." After various commercials and industrials, Blaise was cast in his first feature film, Solitude Point, playing the grandson of Bo Svenson and Mitsuko Baisho. Blaise appeared in several more commercials before he was cast in his next feature film All Over the Guy where he played a young Tom (Richard Ruccolo). Blaise has since appeared in Drillbit Taylor.

Life

Blaise completed an interdisciplinary undergraduate music degree at UCSD in 2011. Upon graduation, he collaborated with the Museum of Making Music – a division of the NAMM Foundation – on its exhibition "The Sound of Sax: How the Saxophone Won America's Soul." The exhibit featured rare and historical saxophones from the collections of Rob Verdi and Blaise Garza and ran until January 2013. Blaise's album "Low Standards" was released in 2012 to accompany the saxophone exhibit and features the Eb and Bb tubax and contrabass saxophone.[1] Blaise performed with The Green (band) and Rebelution (band) on their "Peace of Mind" tour in 2012 and recorded saxophone on Sly Stone's 2014 singles "One More Hit" and "Role Model".[2] Blaise has been performing with the Violent Femmes since 2004 and is featured on their EP "Happy New Year" on bass saxophone and piano[3] as well as their most recent albums "We Can Do Anything" where he plays contrabass, bass and baritone saxophone[4] and "2 Mics and the Truth: Unplugged and Unhinged in America."[5]

While touring with the Violent Femmes as part of the Barenaked Ladies' 2015 "Last Summer On Earth" tour, Garza joined Barenaked Ladies and former Men at Work frontman Colin Hay (who was also part of the tour) in performing "Who Can It Be Now?" every night. One of these performances is featured on the album BNL Rocks Red Rocks.[6]
