Jonas Blue is an English disc jockey (DJ), record producer, songwriter, and remixer. He is based in London and produces music that primarily mixes dance with pop.
Jonas Blue Biography
The producer was born and raised in London, England as Guy James Robin, on August 2, 1989, but prefers to go by his stage name ‘Jonas Blue’ probably because he felt there’s a nicer ring to it than his real name. His talent in music was obvious at a very young age. At about seven or eight years old, he learned how to play various instruments like the flute and saxophone. As he grew up, he “caught the DJ bug,” but also wanted to be able to create the music he was spinning.
At the moment, his full biographical information is unavailable but will be updated as soon as we lay hands on it.
His Career Journey
In 2015, Jonas released his debut single which was a tropical house cover of Fast Car, a 1988 single by Tracy Chapman. Fortunately for him, the single, featuring Dakota, whose sultry vocals played a huge role in carrying the song to the top of 17 international charts, became the miracle he needed for his career to explode. His version of the song took second place on the UK Singles Chart, right behind Pillowtalk by Zayn Malik. It also maintained its top spot for 11 weeks. With its position at number two on the UK charts, the single ranked higher than the original version of the song which settled at #5 on the chart in May 1988 and #4 after it was re-released in April 2011.
The remix further reached #1 on iTunes in Germany, Sweden, Australia, and New Zealand while also taking the number one spot on the US viral chart on Spotify. That’s not all! Fast Car was also certified platinum in the UK, Italy, New Zealand (2× Platinum), and Australia (3× Platinum).
The track has been streamed more than 580 million times on Spotify and has been viewed over 310 million times on Vevo.
In 2016, the rising star became the best-selling British singles artist of the year following his release of two more singles, Perfect Strangers (released on 3 June 2016) and By Your Side (released on 28 October 2016). Perfect Strangers landed in the Top Ten internationally and is, till today, certified platinum in the UK, double platinum in Australia and gold in New Zealand. As a result of the track, Jonas Blue reached 1billion streams across his tracks and videos. With this huge success, he outshined the likes of Zayn Malik and Olly Murs as he outsold them in the charts.
The next year, precisely on 5 May 2017, Jonas released the song Mama, featuring Australian pop vocalist William Singe.
In the same year, the DJ and producer were nominated for British Single and British Artist Video of the Year for his version of Fast Car.
Presently, Jonas Blue is in the running for two Brit Awards 2018 – and he can barely believe it.
