Paleblu, born Ryan Gonsalves, hails from the quiet yet culturally rich neighborhood of Aldersbrook, East London. Growing up surrounded by the vibrant contrast of London’s urban sprawl and the serene parks of his hometown, Paleblu’s music is a reflection of these dualities—melding tranquil, introspective sounds with the restless energy of the city’s underground music scene. With over a decade of experience, Paleblu first made his mark as an MC at warehouse raves and iconic venues like Fabric and Printworks, cutting his teeth in London’s drum & bass and jungle movements. By the age of 21, he had already hosted at label nights for the likes of RAM Records and Hospital Records.

He has been presenting a show on Reprezent Radio for over 8 years with a monthly show (the longest running drum & bass DJ on the station). He has also hosted a number of radio shows on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Kool FM and Balamii. In more recent years, Paleblu plays his original music live accompanied by a 4-piece band.

His debut solo project, "lately, the feels ain’t been there," released in 2023, is a deeply personal exploration of UK indie music infused with his drum & bass roots. Collaborating with artists such as Emmavie and Idris Miles, Paleblu’s tracks have garnered recognition across platforms, with airplay on BBC Radio 1 and placements on major Apple Music playlists.

In 2024, Paleblu made waves with the release of "Daisies," a track remixed by Grammy-nominated duo Crate Classics, blending his signature sound with a fresh jungle-inspired flair. His genre-blurring style, combining indie and drum & bass influences, has led to the creation of a unique sound often referred to as "indie-jungle."

Paleblu’s live performances are equally notable. He took to the Strummerville stage at Glastonbury 2024, where his set was followed by a secret set from Fred Again, marking a high point in his festival journey. He also supported Nia Archives in September 2024, further solidifying his place in the cutting-edge UK music scene.
