RetroBlue (Gavin Bloom) is an emerging Canadian DJ and music producer working his way up and out into the world one extraordinary song at a time. Deep in his studio in Montreal, RetroBlue has his nose to the grindstone. RetroBlue released his debut single ‘City Nights’ in 2017, Which resulted in over 900,000 streams—an excellent result for an independent first release. After being introduced to dubstep by his sister’s ex in 2012, RetroBlue got heavily into electronic music. He began to produce in FL Studio and, as he puts it, “never looked back”.

Inspired by the likes of Eric Prydz, MK, and Robin Schultz, Retroblue’s music crosses a variety of styles, electronic subgenres, and themes, but almost exclusively features the saxophone (which he plays himself). He explains: “In my music I try to express my life’s perspective, such as my experiences, dreams and troubles." Speaking of, you’d never know that Retroblue has dyslexia—it’s no limitation to him and he wants others with the learning disability to know that it shouldn’t be a limitation to them either. Retroblue is striving to build his musical brand in the hopes of making a living from his music—touring and playing all over the world. “To be successful as an artist, you gotta stand out” he says, and standing out he sure is!
