Sydney Blu

With beginnings in Toronto, Canada performing at The Guvernment, Footwork Nightclub, and the LGBTQ2S+ community, Sydney Blu now tours the globe living life through music. In 2009, she founded her imprint, Blu Music, on the principle of dancefloor-rich house and techno, the following year she extended her brand introducing her legendary Blu Party. Sydney has released music on some of the most recognized labels in the industry including Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep in Sound, Katerblau Berlin’s Katermukke, HE.SHE.THEY, Steve Lawler’s VIVa Music, Desert Hearts Records, Deadmau5’s Mau5trap, Universal Music, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode and Truesoul, Yousef’s Circus Recordings, Kevin Saunderson’s KMS Records, DJ Minx’s Women on Wax and more. Her release “Give It Up For Me” on Mau5trap earned Sydney a #1 hit on Beatport for over 3 months. With multiple top ten records since then, Sydney continues to chart every year including another recent top ten called “Mind Games” on Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep in Sound which was premiered by Billboard Magazine.

One of Sydney’s greatest accomplishments to date has been her recent successful advocation for a new category at Canada’s largest award show ‘The JUNO Awards’ called ‘Underground Dance Single of the Year’. The category was successfully accepted by the JUNO’s in June 2021 and presented its first award in 2022 with Sydney Blu as its Chair. Following this, Sydney was asked by The Recording Academy (The Grammy’s) to join as a voting member and help develop their new category in Dance using her proposal for the JUNO’s.
