About Adrian Blu



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

foundation comes from growing up in the Pentecostal church listening to

artists like Andre Crouch, Walter & Edwin Hawkins,Commissioned, The

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

reknowned indie soul, jazz, fusion band "Fertile Ground". In 2012,

Adrian toured Addis Ababa, Ethiopia as a lead and supporting vocalist

with an Atlanta-based coprporate band. While in Ethiopia, Adrian
