Sydney Blu Tour Dates and Upcoming Concerts

With beginnings in Toronto Canada performing at The Guvernment, Footwork Nightclub, and the LGBTQ2S+ community, Sydney Blu now tours the globe living life through music. In 2009, she founded her imprint, Blu Music, on the principle of dancefloor-rich house and techno, the following year she extended her brand introducing her legendary Blu Party. Sydney has released music on some of the most recognized labels in the industry including Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep in Sound, HE.SHE.THEY, Desert Hearts Records, Deadmau5’s Mau5trap, Universal Music, Adam Beyer’s Drumcode & Truesoul, Yousef’s Circus Recordings, Kevin Saunderson’s KMS Records, Katerblau Berlin’s Katermukke and more. Her release "Give It Up For Me” on Mau5trap earned Sydney a #1 hit on Beatport for over 3 months. With multiple top ten records since then, Sydney continues to chart every year including another recent top ten “Mind Games” on Hot Since 82’s Knee Deep in Sound which was premiered by Billboard Magazine. In late 2021 Sydney launched the #23by23 campaign (now called ‘Change the Beat’) with the help of Native Instruments and a run of A- list dance labels. The campaign’s aim is to encourage labels to sign female, trans, and non-binary producers. Over the course of the last 2 years the campaign has turned into a full-time non-profit that has signed over 65 female and gender non-conforming artists and mentored them on their production journeys. To support this initiative, Change the Beat (#23by23), Native Instruments, and Label Radar are hosting remix competitions with labels like Mau5trap, Drumcode, Insomniac, HE.SHE.THEY, Anjunadeep, Hospital, Toolroom, Club Sweat, Gorgon City’s Realm, Soma, Desert Hearts, Poker Flat, Rawthentic, Circus Recordings, and more. In October 2023 ‘Change the Beat’ became one of the recipients of The Beatport Parity Fund which marks the commencement of the organizations next stage—to disseminate their message globally through a series of club events and showcases while also adding an education/mentorship chapter. They will also continue their monthly remix contests partnering with top independent dance labels and signing new artists on a monthly basis. “Change the Beat” events will take center stage in nightclubs and festival stages, and feature top-tier headliners and accomplished alumni, all with the goal of spotlighting the music cultivated through their program. One of Sydney’s greatest accomplishments to date has also been her recent successful advocation for a new category at Canada’s largest award show ‘The JUNO Awards’ called ‘Underground Dance Single of the Year’. The category was successfully accepted by the JUNO’s in June 2021 and presented its first award in 2022 with Sydney Blu as its Chair.
