Baby Blue - Paper Haters

Baby Blue is an artist with a difference. She is not looking for instant glorification or hoping to be relevant just for today, but rather has an aim to sustain longevity. 

Blue, as she is affectionately known, started rapping while at school, when friends decided to form a group and needed a female voice. Although she originally wanted to become an actress, being a part of the group inspired her to start writing songs. After being invited to record at Raw Materials studio, Blue recorded a solo track called 'I Woulda', which was inspired by her cousin's gang-related death in the US. The track was given to various DJs and received a great amount of support and airplay. 

At the age of 19 she sent her music to successful fellow UK artist Estelle, who immediately invited Blue to New York to record the song 'Hey Girl' featuring John Legend, as well as another track for Estelle's debut album 'The 18th Day,' and featured in the video for the hit '1980.' Later that year, Blue released the mixtape 'Out of the Blue Vol I' (with Volume II released two years later) which featured Estelle, members of So Solid Crew, Shystie, Sway, and Akala, who were all respected underground artists. Her first solo music video was for the single 'Sometimes,' which was released to push Vol II of the mixtape. 
Baby Blue, whose name came about because she would sport everything from clothing to contact lenses in the colour baby blue, has a sound that fuses Hip-hop with Grime, R&B and Pop, which creates an international sound for all markets. She intends to create amazing music that stands the test of time worldwide. 

In order to arm herself with the necessary tools needed to survive in the industry, Blue moved to New York City for a year, to learn the business side of music. There, she networked with industry professionals and built up her own work ethic. Part of her learning process saw her tour with Estelle for four months, travelling around the US and Europe to gain further knowledge as well as honing her skills as a songwriter.  Later that year Blue worked with British legends Madness on their comeback single 'Sorry' in 2007, also featuring Sway.

2011 will be Blue's time to shine on her own, with an album slated for release, showcasing an innovative and unique sound which is evident in her last two singles “Run” featuring Wretch 32, the  dub step banger “Double Up” and her latest cut “Paper Haters” produced by Davinche and currently kicking up a storm across the clubs and airwaves.
