Blü Eyes

On 22 May 2026 at O2 Institute Birmingham, Blü Eyes steps on stage with the same close-up focus that runs through her recordings. The Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and producer — born Katie Stump and trained in pop performance at USC — shaped her solo project after years of playing in bands, tightening her sound around clear vocals, light electronics and lean arrangements. Rooted in bedroom and alternative pop, her writing stays direct, first-person and unguarded, circling loss, identity, abandonment and unbalanced relationships. Even her name points to a personal sensitivity to light, a small detail that mirrors the way her songs hold everyday feelings up to view without noise or gloss.

Since the 2022 EP healing hurts, she has kept refining a stripped approach to pop: self-produced tracks that leave space for melody and words, stories that move with a steady pulse rather than big gestures. Live, Blü Eyes brings that intimacy into the room, trading studio polish for presence and breath, letting hooks surface slowly while the narrative leads.
