Blu Jay, also known as Jade Duncan, is making waves with her unique blend of indie pop that honors her Brazilian roots. Raised in the vibrant and sometimes overwhelming city of Los Angeles, her songs are windows into her world, capturing the universal yet deeply personal experiences of navigating teenage life. Her music, raw and real, reflects the highs and lows of growing up, carrying a deeply relatable energy that resonates with listeners.
Blu Jay’s journey with music began at the age of eight, when she first picked up a guitar and started singing. From that moment, she knew music was her calling. As she grew into her voice and her sound, she began crafting her own tunes, pouring her heart into lyrics that were as much about self-discovery as they were about connecting with others. The name Blu Jay became an embodiment of her musical identity—a bird with a song that’s impossible to ignore.
Los Angeles gave Blu Jay the opportunity to showcase her talents, performing at iconic venues like Whiskey A-Go-Go. But it wasn’t just the physical stages that allowed her to share her music. When the pandemic hit, she sought new ways to reach her audience and created “Zoomchella,” a virtual benefit concert that attracted A-listers and brought together a diverse group of musicians. Her creative spirit doesn’t stop at music. Blu Jay also channels her energy into fashion with her indie line, Baby Daddy Momma Drama, which has been growing in popularity, drawing fans into her world of fearless creativity.
Her newest single, “Money Power Sex Fame,” taps into a deep emotional core. It’s a reflection on the loss of a relationship and the lengths we go to numb the pain. With poignant lyrics, Blu Jay explores how the trappings of success—money, sex, power, and fame—can never truly heal heartbreak. The song carries a message that hits home: no matter where you are in life or how successful you become, pain is still pain. Blu Jay delivers this truth with a sound that’s both intimate and expansive, her indie pop flare wrapped around a narrative of raw vulnerability.
Blu Jay invites you into her world, a space where creativity, passion, and authenticity are woven together, creating a sound that’s as captivating as it is real.
