Puma Blue is the alias of artist, producer & songwriter, Jacob Allen. Originally from South-London, currently based in Atlanta; Puma Blue first gained wider attention with his EPs Swum Baby (2017) & Blood Loss (2018). His debut album In Praise Of Shadows was released in 2021, followed by concert-film ‘A Late Night Special’.
Noted for a blend of sensuality, intimate fragility & haunting, nocturnal ambience, Puma Blue’s live shows feature a band of close friends, blending jazz-influenced improvisation with a vocal energy often likened to Jeff Buckley.
His second album Holy Waters, a darker, band-focused meditation on the acceptance of death, was released in 2023 & hailed a triumph. In 2025 it was followed by surprise album, antichamber, announced mere hours before release, an ambient, stripped-back body of work featuring obscure, minimalist arrangements & field recordings. In October 2025, Puma Blue announced that new music was once again imminent, sharing fragments of new single ‘Desire’ – set for release on 22nd October 2025.
