[Blu DeTiger](https://www.instagram.com/bludetiger/) is the NYC-based musician with slap bass and disco house beats. Her groovy and eclectic sound can be attributed to the rebel culture of New York and her family’s musical background; picking up her first electric bass at just seven years old. Blu’s latest release and debut single, "In My Head,” was produced by the electronic duo The Knocks, followed with a music video visualizing an adult Bratz tea party. “I grew up in the New York club culture, and like me, the video represents child-like imagination and innocence with a twist,” DeTiger explains. With a “zero fucks” policy and lots of glitter, Blu took us around this weekend to celebrate both her 21st birthday and first big hometown show. * * * ![](https://cdn.prod.website-files.com/62ee0bbe0c783a903ecc0ddb/6472b59ed948f9c3d49a4ccd_image-asset.jpeg) The Knocks threw me a house party on our night off in Boston for my 21st birthday.
