WHO IS BLOU NOTE?

Melinda “Blou Note” Daniel is a Performing Artist who seemingly burst onto the SWFL music scene in December of 2020. A self-proclaimed Renaissance Woman, Blou Note has since proven to hold an array of talents. On her list of credits are the following: Singer, Songwriter, Writer, Editor, Orator, Model, Poet, Lyricist, Teacher, Motivational Speaker, Marketing Manager, Producer, Event Curator, Philanthropist, Entrepreneur & most notably, QUEEN! Her motto, “Life, Chile! I Get It!”, can best describe her approach to not only her art but the community at large. Having gained quite the reputation for being an inspiration to those following her overall movement, Blou Note has earned the respect of not only her fan base but her peers as well. Known for her raw & real mindset regarding life, love & relationships, Blou has been affectionately praised for her ability to maintain a both powerful vocal & motivational delivery genuinely rooted in love.      

Originally from North Jersey, Blou Note has lived in the Lee County, Florida area for over 25 years. Although new to the entertainment industry, she has laid roots in the 239 for over two decades as a working mother who focused her energies on raising her children & supporting their endeavors through adulthood. Not long after the transition to an emptied nest, the world found itself rapidly changing amongst varying racial & sociopolitical tensions in addition to a worldwide pandemic. Life took on a new meaning & a journey of self-reflection birthed itself. Over time, the former Melinda & now Grandmother of 2 found herself more intentional with looking inward to reveal the gifts suppressed over the years. She’d ultimately pen a social justice piece that would go on to be shared throughout the Internet at the height of worldwide protests following the George Floyd case as a deeply moving lament regarding racial injustice, garnering heavy reactions across the social landscape & in turn, Blou Note was born.  

Since having released her first two independent singles, ‘Wait For Me’ & ‘Her’ at the end of 2020, Blou Note has gone on to release 6 additional Original Singles (‘Energy’, ‘The Situation’, ‘Feelin This Way’, 'The Cypher', 'Mahogany Blues' & ‘How Many’, the song that birthed The Blou Note Movement), currently available on ALL streaming platforms. She also has two collaborations with fellow Artists VoidHayze (Butterflies) & Remedy Reign (Love Letter I Hated). Most widely compared to Artists the likes of Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige & Jill Scott (with a bit of India Arie for good measure), Blou Note gives off a soulful ENERGY that applies across all genres. With an ability to create an atmosphere that forces the listener to feel whatever the lyrics she so chooses to emote, her multidimensional layers of talent make it difficult to box her into a categorical genre. If you ask Blou directly, she’ll tell you she’s a Soul Singer. From the likes of her audience reaction no matter the venue, it appears she may be right.

As you can see, this fun loving, Mother-Sister-Auntie figure has jumped on the scene and seemingly maximized her presence out of nowhere. Although she admits she's doesn't plan on stopping anytime soon just because she got started so late, it’s clear that her place in not only the local but worldwide arts arena seemed destined from the start. It’s unsure at this point of how she’ll finish but it’s pretty apparent this Queen has the star power to do so SUCCESSFULLY.  Stay tuned as this Queen is just getting started.
