Blu Ernest
Blu Ernest is a songwriter and producer, based in Brighton, UK, who writes gritty R&B music laced with elements of contemporary hip-hop and late-night indie. His slick sound has been described as a 'melancholy-striptease', mixing his nonchalant vocals over a silky yet somber production of thumping 808's and glistening guitar chords. His tender heart-on-a-sleeve lyrics convey his personal struggles with an understated finesse, through his 'half-sung-half-rapped' delivery. Originally raised in a small-town in the heart of the UK, the sea-side lover says he was born with an 'underdog' way of thinking, which taught him to overcome his lowest points.
