Jonny Blu is an American singer, songwriter and record producer who was born and raised in Los Angeles but made his professional debut in China. He entered the music scene in Hong Kong and became the first Caucasian pop star in the Chinese music world.[citation needed]
From his first Mandarin Chinese Pop album Jonny Blu-On the Edge|藍強-刀鋒, his songs "On The Edge|刀鋒", "Crossroads|十子路口", and "The Apology|對不起妳" were Top Ten hits in the Chinese Music and Music Video charts. With a style similar to that of Michael Bublé, Harry Connick Jr. and Jamie Cullum, in December 2006, he released his debut swing/pop album In Just That Kind of a Mood.
In June 2008, he released an EP titled In a Groove, co-produced with Myke Aaron. On September 8, 2009, Blu released his album Taboo!, produced by Peer Music, with arrangements by Bob Malone.
