An underground alternative hip hop artist.
Having built a reputation as one of London’s most beguiling and genre-defying voices, KEYAH/BLU enters a new era of unfiltered rawness. With her own production , KEYAH/BLU explores the complexities of human connection and self-identity through a vulnerable and minimalistic, yet deeply intimate lens, crafting her own unique but undeniably resonant universe. With her disparate influences from across the spectrum, KEYAH/BLU lies at the intersection of dreamy electronic, indie, hip-hop and R&B, often marrying her own ethereal harmonies and vocals with melodic hard-hitting bars to spin tales of life as a young person floating through the novel extremities of everyday life. With just a handful of tracks to her name, KEYAH/BLU has already attracted plaudits from Pitchfork “KEYAH/BLU is fully in command, and her career has only just begun.”, The Observer (‘Hot New Tracks’) “Darkly sexy whisper rap…shivering somewhere between Tirzah and Tricky”, Crack Magazine “a 21st century artist-to-watch”, as well as gracing the front cover of Parisian magazine L’Officiel, making the BBC 6 Music B List, attracting support from the likes of Mary Anne Hobbs, Lauren Laverne, Jamz Supernova, Joy Orbison, Toddla T, Huw Stephens and supporting Jorja Smith, Little Simz, Tirzah, Obongjayar and Yves Tumor live. KEYAH/BLU has also appeared on a Colors Show.
KEYAH/BLU plays a genre-defying blend of alternative hip-hop, electronic R&B, and experimental pop characterized by sparse bedroom-style production.
