Jonny Blu is a uniquely talented singer/songwriter who was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, but made his debut into the music world in of all places China. After making a success in China, and singing in the Disney blockbuster film "Princess Diaries 2", Jonny has returned to the United States to promote his career further, going back to his musical roots in Swing and Pop. Uniquely among his contemporaries, most of Blu's songs and music are actually written by him. Jonny's music, lyrics and vocal style will put you in just that kind of a mood... .... ..A BIT MORE....... Jonny is currently living in Los Angeles. After focusing on promoting his first two independent releases, the swingin' EP release "In A Groove" (2008) and his original debut Swing/Pop CD "In Just That Kind of a Mood" (2007), Jonny recently released his 3rd studio album "Taboo!" on October 6, 2009. "In A Groove" is a digital only release with four Jonny Blu originals and a swingin' remake of the Burt Bacharach classic "Always Something There to Remind Me". "In Just That Kind of a Mood" contains six original songs as well as standards by artists ranging from the classic Cole Porter to LL Cool J, all with Blu's own contemporary spin. Songs like the title track "In That Kind of a Mood", "Smilin' Eyes", "Sweet Lovin' in the Afternoon", "In A Groove" and "Ooh-Wee" are examples of Jonny Blu's natural gift for songwriting and love for music. ...."Taboo" is a co-production with Peer Music ( www.peermusic.com) and Jonny worked with arranger Bob Malone to kick out some amazing version of Latin Standards including "Babaloo", "Besame Mucho", and "Taboo". Stay tuned for upcoming tour dates in 2010! ......AND A BIT MORE.... Born and raised in Los Angeles, Jonny was dually influenced by music and foreign languages. Coming from a very creative family -his father created the classic game “The Game of Life” and his mother a former singer/actress- Jonny’s musical path was initiated at a very young age. He also showed a gift for writing and language early on (studying Spanish and Hebrew beginning at age eight), which eventually led him to study Chinese at the prestigious Peking University in Beijing during his college years at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). After studying and traveling in China for two years, Jonny returned to the States where he would soon go against the grain and combine these two skills. As the only non-Chinese artist, he entered a Chinese singing competition in Los Angeles on a whim. This random decision eventually led him back to China where his musical talent and fluency in Mandarin quickly saw him rise in the music world in China and ultimately become the first ever non-Chinese pop star. This career also led to a cameo role (as himself) in Disney’s blockbuster film “Princess Diaries 2”, singing (in Mandarin) “Miracles Happen,” for which Jonny also received a RIAA Certified Gold record for his song on the Soundtrack. .............. ................ .... ....JONNY BLU -.. ....Vocals, Arrangements, Music,..
