"Adrian Blu is an acoustic singer/songwriter in the soul/R&B Genre

Winans, and The Clark Sisters. Blu's Secular influences are an eclectic
blend of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Stevie Wonder,
Parliament Funkadelic,Earth Wind & Fire,Billy Preston, Brian
Wilson(beach boys),and James Taylor. Blu's intent is to create music
that promotes relationship competence, celebration of life, emotional
well-being with a spiritual over tone. In 1998, Adrian toured south
Africa in support of an inspirational indie album he was featured on.
In 2004 Adrian toured Japan as a backing vocalist with the world
