Sydney Blu

Sydney Blu's career took shape in Toronto, playing within the LGBTQ2S+ community and at clubs including Guvernment and Footwork. Her breakthrough production “Give It Up For Me” appeared on deadmau5's Mau5trap, while subsequent releases have connected her with labels including Knee Deep in Sound and Kevin Saunderson's KMS Records.

She founded Blu Music in 2009 and extended that independent platform into events with the launch of the Blu Party in 2010. Her second album, Conviction, earned a 2022 JUNO nomination for Electronic Album of the Year; written in Berlin and finished during the pandemic, it includes the 1980s-inspired “Monologue” featuring Azari & III vocalist Fritz Helder.
