Jonas Blue

London-based digital dance producer Jonas Blue (given birth to Guy James Robin in Essex, England) caught the interest of the market along with his reimagining of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 hit “Fast Car.” Adding a exotic house tint towards the plaintive, bittersweet acoustic initial, Blue enlisted the skills of young English vocalist Dakota, whose sultry vocals helped bring the tune to the very best of 17 worldwide charts, including number 1 slot machine games in Australia, Scotland, and both U.K. and U.S. dance graphs. In 2016, Blue released the follow-up to his global smash, “Ideal Strangers,” which highlighted JP Cooper on vocals. The one landed in the very best 10 internationally and was accompanied by “WITH YOU” with Raye. The next year, he released “Mama,” his cooperation with Australian pop vocalist William Singe.
