Jonas Blue, one might say, “flyed up” to the very peak of the “rock” called “show business”, bypassing the long “ladder” that many have been climbing for years.
A talented musician, DJ, producer and hit writer at a very young age is a true darling of fortune. Jonas Blue currently resides in London and works in the pop and house genres.
Childhood and youth of Jonas Blue
Jonas Blue's real birth name is Guy James Robin. He was born on August 2, 1989 in the English province, in the county of Essex, but as a child his parents moved him to the capital - London.
Like many future stars, James showed interest in musical creativity very early. As a child, he already played various instruments, and it was easy for him, which speaks of his innate talent.
At the age of 8, the boy played the piano well, mastered the saxophone and flute. Boyish street or computer games were not very interesting for James, he liked to spend time studying musical intricacies.
DJ Jonas Blue's first public tryouts
As soon as the guy grew up, he immediately began to try his hand as a DJ in London nightclubs. And soon James realized that he wanted not only to reproduce other people's works, but also to create his own. In his head, by his own admission, at that time a lot of ideas arose. However, years passed before the recording of the first single.
James made a 2015 Fast Car cover of a song by US star Tracey Chapman. Then the guy came up with a pseudonym for himself, because his own name seemed to him not harmonious enough for the business he was doing. Thus began the seemingly predetermined story of the rapid "rise" of a simple kid. He has also since become Jonas Blue.
The musician attracted singer Dakota (Sophie Elton) to record the first remix, thanks to which the single enjoyed unprecedented popularity for a debut. It has appeared on many charts and has topped the charts everywhere.
Jonas himself considered this a real miracle, which he, of course, did not expect. Since then, his popularity has begun to increase exponentially. YouTube views alone have surpassed 300 million!
The song was appreciated not only in the homeland of Jonas, most of the countries that had access to this song were delighted. The composition received the status of "platinum", as the number of copies of it exceeded 1 million.
Not stopping at what has been achieved
Jonas continued to build on the initial success and recorded two songs: Perfect Strangers and By Your Side. The first track featured British artist JP Cooper (J.P. Cooper) and was released under Virgin EMI Records.
This composition literally "blew up" the international charts, and some nearby countries raised it to the rank of "platinum". Views of tracks and videos of Jonas reached 1 billion - an amazing figure!
The singer's rating far exceeded that of many performers. The recording of the song By Your Side featured British singer Raye.
In 2017, Blue collaborated with Australian pop singer William Singe to record the hit song Mama. Jonas himself commented on this song as a celebration of the most carefree period in a person's life, when everything is possible and still ahead.
Jonas Blue nominated for MTV
In addition, he was nominated for an MTV award. By the way, it was no coincidence that Jonas chose this song by Tracy Champen for the remake - his mother really liked it. In the original version, Blue did not like the tempo of the melody, and he remade it in his own way. The Blue variant has become more popular than the original version!
2018 is marked by the new single I See Love, recorded in collaboration with US artist Joe Jonas.
This composition became the "face" of the animated film "Monsters on Vacation 3: The Sea is Calling." And it was so great that the animators decided to take her into the new film "Royal Corgi" (2019).

Rumors circulated instantly, but so far they have not been confirmed by anything.
Blue names British rock band Pink Floyd, Britney Spears, US pop band Backstreet Boys and 'N Syns as his idols.
