BIO
Introduced to the world of hip hop through rap giants The Fugees, Calgary rapper The Blue’s music reflects a fusion of this early influence and waves of new school. He and his band bring this sound to life in a high-energy performance.
Building on his early influences, The Blue has carved out a niche for himself in the hip-hop landscape, drawing from a diverse range of styles to create his own sound. His 2022 album “Things Could Be Worse” provided upbeat, soul fuelled beats and melodies that saw The Blue nominated for Rap Recording of the Year at the 2023 YYC Music Awards.
The Blue recently released his latest album “So Look At The Bright Side” on September 16, 2025. The project was followed by a Western Canadian tour, bringing his compelling live show to audiences across the region.
A seasoned performer, The Blue has shared stages with artists such as Shad, k-os, SonReal, Dragonette, Snak the Ripper, Down With Webster, Swollen Members, and more. Whether in intimate venues or on festival stages, he continues to champion Calgary hip hop while making a lasting impression wherever he performs.
