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.
