NYC-based wunderkind, Blu DeTiger creates disco house music that pays homage to her electric upbringing. Born and raised in New York City, her first live performance was a Rolling Stones tribute show at CBGB. With a commitment to a career of bohemian experimentation, her no f*cks given DIY attitude, and affection for all things glitter, Blu set out on a 20-date tour with The Knocks as well as Young & Sick on January 24, 2019. Below, find photographs from her road-trip and her captions following the musical journey.
