Inspired by Bob Dylan, João Gilberto, Robert Johnson and the tropical vibes of Southeast Asia, Mellow Blues is a Singaporean jazz blues guitarist and singer-songwriter living in Phuket, Thailand. His musical style is centred in the blues with explorations in bossa nova, jazz and reggae and has drawn comparison to Jake Bugg, Sixto Rodriguez and Carlos Santana. Mellow Blues' latest album, The Phuket Session, was released in May 2023 on all music streaming platforms. The album was recorded, mixed and mastered in his Phuket apartment. The Phuket Session is a testimony to how he sounds live as it was recorded as solo singer-songwriter with overdubbed blues guitars. Mellow Blues had performed in the UK, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore and festivals such as Vibe Nation Beach Fest (Vietnam), UNESCO Phuket Jazz Fest (Thailand) and Rammanee Jazz & Blues Festival (Thailand). In 2014, he was one of the backing musicians for Singapore’s television programme. Endorsed by Emiya Guitars, he has collaborated with them to design his very own “Mellow Blues” archtop guitar series.
