Punky Blu is a woman who is Free. Social acceptance is not something that she worries about. She does what she wants, wears what she wants, says what she feels and acts how she wants to act. She creates what’s in her world, doing what works for her. Punky is a term used to describe someone who looks and dresses different from what society considers the norm. Blue symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. The combination of the words describes her personality.
Her mission is to inspire others to be and accept who they really are. Her message to the world: “Don’t worry about what everyone else has to say, be you all day. By doing this, you can find self happiness". When people listen to her music she wants them to feel connected to a woman who is real about her life experiences. She doesn't hold anything back and gives as much as possible, singing until her voice is gone, and writing until her fingers are sore. Paper, pen and a mic are her advocates to tell stories about where she's from and what she's been through, hoping her listeners will be able to relate to something she's said.
Punky was born and raised in Park Slope, Brooklyn, which definitely brought forth her "Punky" swagger. The neighborhood was very diverse. They had goths, skateboarders, rockers, rappers, Christians, wiccans, lesbians, gays, owners, renters, dog walkers, cat lovers, you name it they had it and she quickly learned that being yourself was cool and being different made you stand out. Punky's music is a reflection of where she grew up and where she is now. She is free to be her and she is Punky Blu!
