ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join us for an intimate Live with 1833 session featuring Blu Fiefer, in collaboration with YUNG Magazine. A raw and stripped-back listening experience with one of the region’s most distinctive voices genre-blurring, boundary-pushing, and unapologetically her own. From sound to story, Blu invites us into her world for a night of music, meaning, and conversation.
Blu Fiefer is a multifaceted Lebanese-Mexican artist who defies artistic conventions across multiple disciplines. As an artist, music producer, director, and the CEO & Founder of the Lebanese independent record label ‘Mafi Budget’, Fiefer’s creative journey spans over 14 years, encompassing a rich tapestry of experiences in arts and multimedia. Her current focus centers on the release of her debut album, 'Villain Bala Cause', a project that unfolds as a series of singles accompanied by interconnected music videos. Through her music, Fiefer embarks listeners on a narrative journey that explores themes of identity and societal critique, deeply rooted in her Arab cultural heritage. Her approach is marked by a bold and non-conformist spirit, challenging norms and reshaping perceptions through innovative performances and visual storytelling.
