John Blu is a 6x Billboard Charting Independent Artist/Producer/Writer,
Engineer & CEO of Singlemakerz Productions that has been making a solid
name for himself since the early 2000s. His hit song, “In Love Wit Yo
Booty” and “Cologne” received national attention in 2010 and 2011. In
2018, his single, “Bananas In That Monkey Remix” featuring R Kelly
was a viral sensation. His single, “Blessed”, released in 2020 made great
strides and became one of the most streamed songs of the year. Its catchy
phrase “way too blessed to be stressed” is an affirmation to live by. And, now
“Checking On You” is sure to become a relationship anthem for the masses.
John Blu has had the opportunity to work with Timbaland, R Kelly,
Devyn Stephens, Da Internz, Bobby Valentino, Day 26, Twista,
Jeremih, Gucci Mane, D-Low, and so many more mainstream and up &
coming artists and producers in the music industry.
John Blu makes contemporary R&B records for clubs, the streets, and
bedrooms. Born on October 27, 1983, John is a native of Bellwood, Illinois, a
suburb directly west of Chicago, the self-nicknamed “R&B bully” (full last
name: Bluford) got into music as a youngster-rapping, and eventually
singing, entirely self-taught. Just into his teens, Blu made his recorded
debut with “Reverse Psychology”, and followed it up a couple years later
with “Undiscovered”. Signing with the independent label AAU primed
him for a short-term deal with major-label Jive. Blu’s third proper album,
“Sacrifice Before Success”, was issued independently in 2017. During
the years between full-lengths, Blu released non-album singles and
continued to set the bar high for R&B newcomers.
