PLAN B: JONAS BLUE ON DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL TO BECOME A DJ

Jonas Blue recently brought his Blueprint Tour to Dublin.   View this post on Instagram   Soundcheck done... So excited for another SOLD OUT night of the #BlueprintTour here in Dublin! ??? A post shared by Jonas Blue (@jonasblue) on Mar 4, 2020 at 8:02am PST Sarina caught up with him before he took to the stage. Jonas told Sarina that at the age of 11, he had a lightbulb moment, after seeing a DJ set up in a friend's bedroom. That's when he knew he needed to be a DJ. At 12 he realised that he also wanted to make his own music. By the age of 15 he dropped out of school to follow this passion fulltime. To make money, while turning his dream into a reality, he worked in a bar - the same one that Sam Smith was working behind the bar in! His hit Fast Car came about because it was his mum's favourite song and he wanted to include it in his DJ set. He changed his name from Guy Robbins to Jonas Blue when he started writing his own music and was influenced by all the Swedish DJs he was coming across after a summer in Ibiza. Jonas Blue's latest single, Mistakes, featuring Paloma Faith is out now.   View this post on Instagram   Just want to thank you ALL for the incredible support on our new single MISTAKES! ????
