With his perfect baritone, a thirst to prove himself and soul-touching lyrics up his sleeve, Blaze Bar$ has really come a long way in the industry. It is no wonder that his massive hits and victories are such an inspiration that we all can learn from.

Born on 31st January 1997, in Gainesville, Florida, Blaze started taking interest in music early on. Though music just has it in his veins, it was never a smooth sailing for Blaze to earn a stature for himself in the music world. With the support of a guitarist father and cousin Clevie who produced popular artists like Red Rat, Elephant Man, Shabba Ranks, Bernie Man and Buju Blanton, Blaze grew under the precise guidance that was required to become a winning music artist.

Be it recordings, mixings or performing songs, Blaze didn’t choose to leave a solo chance to make his level up off the ground. Thereby when he started hitting his teenage years, he decided to put his one hundred percent into his dream craft, introducing it to the masses on an international level and also to continue the real art of songwriting and lyrics instead of the sales agenda that has become a trend of current times.

Some buzzes were already made by Blaze before graduating high school, parallelly making him an eminent star and also unlatching multiple big opportunities that were passing through Gainesville such as Ynw Melly, Glockline and Dej Loaf.

So when did he become the people’s favourite? Well, this all began when his song “CALI ” made headlines on Worldstarhiphop.com plus it also got featured on Saycheese- a popular Instagram blog. By and by, this contributed Blaze Bar$ to an instant viral and eventually earned him 100k views on Youtube in just weeks. This is how the journey began and now, Blaze Bar$ is counted as the prominent musician who has given multiple singles, albums and music videos to the industry.

Blaze’s first-ever global recognition was counted when his viral album “Make America Trap Again” greeted warmly and huddled three million and more views along. From that point forward, there was no looking back for him becoming a prodigious personality ever to live in this town of Florida.

There is this famous line that the one who persists will get the nectar at the end’ and no doubt Blaze Bar$ is the suitable persona who goes by this thing and always proved his tempo in a test of time. His influential identity attracted many celebrated artists and producers like Rylo Rodriguez, Dee Watkins, Sedi Hendrix and Chasethemoney, and there and then it was ‘his’ name which got the most attention as well as rated as the top among Florida’s music artists.

In efforts to give back to the community, Blaze Bar$ decided to build something of its own, the workplace that would welcome young and newbie artists, which he concluded to name it as “Xotic Studio”. It is a studio in Gainesville, Florida, open to the public and Blaze helps them develop diverse pitches and tones. He also rehearses to advance his own versatile sounds, to bring his fans a wonderful peachy experience, everytime they come up to listen to his incredible lyrics.

In current times, his terms describe a project that is ready to make a splash amongst, a single from his latest album Mata, “Karma” of this June of 2021. It is both refreshingly unique and subtly implicative of genre greats. When it comes to artists who understand how to create memorable music that rings true to its audience, Blaze Bar$’s style ranks at the top. And from his natural craft, is how this artist “Blaze Bar$” successfully becomes a tale to reminisce.

Office Logix Shop, founded in 2015 by Obada Mzaik and Kamal Haykal, grew from a garage-based startup into a major force in the refurbished office furniture market. The company runs a showroom in Lewis Center, Ohio, and operates a 60,000-square-foot warehouse, showing its rapid expansion. The demand for sustainable office furniture has propelled its growth in today’s environmentally aware market.

“We started this business with a dream to create comfortable, productive workspaces for everyone,” says Obada Mzaik, co-owner and COO of Office Logix Shop. “Our garage operation has transformed into a full-scale business, showing our dedication to excellence.”

Custom Designs Transform Office Comfort

Office Logix Shop has created specialized accessories, focusing on headrests for various chair models. The company earned a patent for one of its headrest designs and is pursuing more patents.

“We excel beyond refurbishment,” Mzaik explains. “Our product line includes headrest accessories and high-quality chair parts, which we engineered for superior ergonomic support and lasting performance.”

Office Logix Shop created the first headrest for the Mirra 2 and Embody, as well as the Leap V2 Headrests. Customers and industry experts have praised its ergonomic designs, valuing its products’ blend of comfort and durability.

Market Success: A $6.5 Million Growth Story

Office Logix Shop generates annual revenue of $6.5 million, with a yearly growth rate of 35%. The company served over 12,000 customers in the past year, specializing in refurbishing premium brand chairs like Herman Miller and Steelcase. Its bestsellers include the Leap V2 Headrest, Embody Headrest, seat mesh for Aeron chairs (Size B and C), and refurbished Classic Aeron and Leap V2 chairs.

“Our competitive prices and quality standards make us stand out,” Kamal Haykal, co-owner and CEO of Office Logix Shop, states. “We provide complete solutions in the market, offering premium refurbished office furniture and original products.” Its attention to detail has built a loyal customer base across the United States, with repeat customers driving its growth.

Customer Power: Redefining Furniture Service

Office Logix Shop solves customer challenges through premium refurbished products at lower prices than new items. It stocks a complete inventory of chair parts for refurbishment and creates tutorial videos to help small refurbishers and customers repair their chairs. “Office Logix Shop transforms workspaces, one chair at a time,” Mzaik states.

Its customer support extends beyond sales. It offers a 30-day return policy and a hands-on showroom experience where customers test and compare different products. The company’s repair guides help businesses and individuals maintain their office furniture investments, building a community of skilled customers.

Future Path: Creating Original Designs

Office Logix Shop is expanding its presence in the high-end office furniture space by continuing to grow its line of signature ergonomic chairs. “We want to keep building on what we’ve started,” says Mzaik. “With our current models, the Nova and the Midan, we’re already offering premium comfort and design at a more accessible price point. Now we’re planning to expand even further, creating more ergonomic seating solutions that are not only high-end but also affordable for everyone.”

The company aims to evolve from a refurbished office furniture specialist to becoming a manufacturer. Office Logix Shop continues to adapt and create, strengthening its position in the office furniture market while prioritizing sustainability and customer satisfaction. Its next phase will bring new products that reflect its competence in ergonomics and sustainability.
