3LAU

Justin David Blau (born January 9, 1991),

2011–12: First releases In 2011, at the age of 20, he vacationed in Sweden, where he discovered electronic dance music. After returning to college he started producing mashups, "mainly because [he] didn't think anyone was doing a good job."

2016–17: Blume Records In 2016 3lau launched Blume Records, an independent label with a ground-breaking model that harnesses the power of streaming to raise money for charitable causes. 3lau said, "Hopefully we can inspire other people to act and there will be this domino effect."

2018–19: Ultraviolet, OMF On February 16, 2018, 3lau released his debut album Ultraviolet on label "BLUME" featuring singles "Touch," "On My Own", "Walk Away" and "Star Crossed". The album features collaborations with Carly Paige, Nevve, Emma Hewitt, Max Schneider, Said the Sky, and Neonheart. The album hit No. 1 on iTunes' Electronic Chart, as did lead single "Touch." On June 21, 2018, 3lau announced the launch of OMF (Our Music Festival), the first blockchain-powered music festival. The festival was held on October 20, 2018, in San Francisco and was headlined by Zedd.

In March 2021, 3lau marked the three-year anniversary of his Ultraviolet album through an unusual internet auction with "NFTs" (non-fungible tokens) certifying certain digital rights and the one-of-a-kind ownership, for a total of approximately in the three-day sale.

2025: Touring

In January 2025, 3lau performed at Donald Trump's second Inaugural Ball and was strongly criticized by the media and multiple artists, including known artists Deadmau5 and Jai Wolf, for his attendance and possible indirect support for Donald Trump.

A couple months after the backlash, 3lau deleted his social media pages and teased that he was rebranding and changing his stage name. On March 13, a social media post was made on a new account announcing that he was returning to using his real name, Justin Blau, and that the 3lau chapter had ended.

Charity work In 2016, 3lau launched the record label Blume, the first not-for-profit dance music label. Profits from all songs released on Blume are dedicated to charity. 3lau raised over $200,000 for Pencils of Promise, a nonprofit using the funds donated to build a seven-classroom school in Quetzaltenango, Guatemala as well as to fund clean water, education, and teacher development programs. In 2013, 3LAU announced that he had built his first school with the non-profit and in 2018 another school was built in Guatemala.
