Calling Bleubird an MC doesn’t feel complete. Storytellers draw from varied impulses, and Bleubird’s vision is oddly utopian. He takes mere observations, gift-wraps them and re-presents them as spectacles. It’s the type of satire that can only be born of a wide-eyed-yet-wary appreciation of modern day landscapes and the people who walk through them.

He claims (somewhat disingenuously): “I hide behind my humor because it’s truth that I fear,” but even in his darkest humor he betrays himself. Those who listen can tell that even at his most caustically comical and sarcastically potty-mouthed, it’s all for love.

From Florida to Montreal to Berlin, Bleubird has lived among many communities, and made himself a part of each one. These nomadic tendencies are telling. He is the message and the messenger - the transmission and the tower. At home in transit, travel is at the basis of his trade: it is constant evolution that defines Bleubird.

From humble beginnings in 1999 opening up for The Nature Kids at Liquid Cellar in Orlando, Florida (with his homie Tripone and a DJ named DIPLOdacus), he spent the next years playing and promoting shows in and around that city, building up the scene surrounded by comrades like Swamburger and DJ SPS. More recently Bleubird appeared in Urb’s 2008 “Next 100” list.

    "THIS IS AN ATHEIST JIHAD." You are correct. By the way, catch him performing if you can. Holy shit, does he put on an incredible show. So much energy.

    Listening to Cannonball, I just realized that I've heard him on Sole's classic "Live From Rome". Great, great album.
