Jonny Blu

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.

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.

He also worked for Soviet Union President Mikhail Gorbachev as a personal escort for three days at a Global Green USA Convention in 2000.

As the only non-Chinese contestant, Blu stunned the audience and judges with his rendition of the hit Chinese pop song "Xin Tai Ruan (心太軟)".

After struggling for over two years performing in bars and clubs around Hong Kong and getting a couple small television commercials, he went to a meeting with Richard Denekamp, the head of Sony Music Asia.

After discussion about a role in an upcoming film, he and Marshall met a few months later at Henderson Productions in Toluca Lake, California.

In 2005, Blu began work on an album in Los Angeles, recording swing and jazz songs that he had written, along with some classic standards that were favorites of his.

Influenced by Harry Connick Jr. in his early life (and Elvis Presley, Dean Martin and Brian Setzer), Blu recorded his In Just That Kind of a Mood.

After finding licensing for some of his songs, including "In Just That Kind of a Mood" and "Ooh-Wee" which were heard on The Young and the Restless in 2007 and 2008, he moved back to the United States.
