EXTENDED BIOGRAPHY:
Jonny Blu was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and from an early age he was exposed to music, language, and world cultures. He also comes from a creative line, including his father, Reuben Klamer, who is the creator of the famous board game "The Game of Life". Starting from the age of only six years, while his mom, Shary Klamer, spent nights at law school, both Music and Asian culture became a major part of Jonny’s life because it was then that Jonny began studying martial arts and began voice study, both of which he has continued to the present.
Eastern philosophies have always been a passion of Jonny’s, as well as an academic focus. Studying at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), he was unable to fully immerse himself within these teachings, so in 1997 he applied for and was admitted into a highly exclusive program to study in Beijing at Peking University. Jonny would then spend the next two years studying Chinese language and culture in Bejing and traveling extensively throughout China and Southeast Asia. From this experience, he not only improved his Chinese speaking, reading, and writing skills to relative fluency, but he also gained a love for Asia and its people that most Westerners never get a chance to understand. After graduating with honors from UCLA, inspiration struck Jonny in 2001 after he entered and won a Chinese singing competition in Los Angeles. It was then that he was discovered by a Taiwanese TV network, ETTV. An executive there began sending Jonny out to perform at events around California. He also toured (as the only non-Chinese singer) through the Mandarin singing competition circuits in the US and placed first in several events. The step that finally pushed him into the International Mandarin Pop spotlight was when he made it to the International finals of the CCTV International Singing Competition ...this was the boost he needed to make this a true career. Jonny is currently living in between Hong Kong and Shanghai and Los Angeles pursuing a completely unprecedented approach to the world music scene. He not only sings in Mandarin (and English), but he writes his own lyrics (in Chinese) and co-produces his music (with well-known Music Producer Myke Aaron). Jonny says that his thought process for writing his songs begins and ends thinking only in Chinese (not by translating). His style is a mix of R&B, electronica, and western pop, blended with a Mandarin pop feel. His favorite songs to write are simple and unadorned love ballads, but don’t count out his love for performing energetic pop and hip-hop rhythms.
In 2004 Jonny appeared as himself in the Disney blockbuster movie "Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement" and he received an RIAA Certified Gold Record in the USA for his song on the soundtrack.
In October of 2004 Jonny signed with See Music in Hong Kong, China and has since released his 1st Mandarin Pop Album, including the 3 chart topping Mandarin songs "On the Edge," "The Apology,"and "Crossroads"(all written and produced by Jonny), and he has appeared in several television and radio shows throughout southern China. Jonny was also voted as "Hot New Sound" at the 2005 Metro Music Awards in Hong Kong, which has never before been achieved by a non-Chinese. Jonny Blu is the first ever Caucasian artist to have successfully entered the Chinese music market in the history of the music business.
Now having returned to the US, Jonny is furthering his music career into the United States. He has returned to more of his roots by creating a new sound that blends the classic tones of Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Sting and Harry Connick, Jr. with his own more modern smooth and cool pop feel. His new album "In Just That Kind Of A Mood" is a collection of mostly songs penned by Jonny and co-produced with his longtime friend, Producer Myke Aaron.
If you enjoy contemporary artists like Norah Jones, Michael Buble, Sting, and Harry Connick, Jr. then you'll equally appreciate Jonny Blu!
Jonny is currently touring the US to promote his album.
