“Skin" is a fiery and gritty tale of hard work, rolling up your sleeves and getting through the intricacies of the music industry as an independent artist.

Nordi Blu - Skin

Singing has always been as intimate and necessary as breath to Nordi Blu, who
grew up singing with the women on the French side of her family and her guitar.

After years of trying to find her place in the world—one that straddles tradition and heritage on the one hand, and the borders she’s crossed and made home on the other—she is finally releasing her relentless spirit and expanding artistic vision into the public eye, and is receiving recognition from all across the board.

In 2017, Blu advanced to the quarter-finals on the Voice of Germany in Team Mark Forster. Taking advantage of her growing fanbase and increasing acclaim, she wrote and recorded her debut album in 2018, which she financed independently through crowdfunding, garnering donations from over 150 donors and private investors. 

Her debut album, produced by Alex Sprave, approaches delicate themes such as growing up, addiction and the concept of “home”, and is due in 2019.

Her musical influences criss-cross the Atlantic much like her bi-continental upbringing in Paris and Chicago. While her musical heroes include The Arctic Monkeys and Jack White, it is not surprising that her tone and voice are infused with life-affirming soul, gospel and raw intimacy.

People say you either remain a slave to tradition or break with it: it is safe to say that Nordi Blu has found common ground in both.
