Early life and education
3LAU, born Justin David Blau, was born on January 9, 1991, in the quaint town of Syosset, New York. Growing up in a well-to-do family, he developed a love of music at an early age, learning to play the piano, guitar, and sing.
At the age of 13, 3LAU and his family moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where he spent most of his formative years. He attended The Meadows School for high school before attending Washington University in St. Louis for higher education.
3LAU’s father, Russell Mark Blau, was a successful lawyer, and his mother, Linda May Wallace, ran her own thriving business. His third great-grandfather, Naftaly Blau, came from his father’s side of the family.
3LAU’s father’s grandfather was Martin Blau (son of Edward Blau and Pauline Feiring). Martin Blau was vice president of advertising and public relations for Columbia Pictures International. Samuel Blau and Sarah Schreck were Austrian Jews who moved to the United States.
Personal life
There are many rumors that 3LAU is related to beautiful American actress Emily Rudd, but he has not confirmed the authenticity of these rumors.
As of 2022, it appears that 3LAU is working solo. This assumption is based on a number of clues, including his recent social media activity and interviews.
In a recent interview, 3LAU mentioned that he is “not looking for anything serious right now,” which combined with social media posts that often depict him enjoying hanging out with friends or flying solo, suggests that he is currently single.
Of course, all of this could change in the future. As a successful young artist, 3LAU could meet worthy opponents in the coming years. For now, however, it seems like he is enjoying the freedom of being single.
Career
As a musician, 3LAU’s artistry is characterized by his ability to seamlessly blend different styles of electronic dance music, creating unique and emotional sonic experiences. His live performances are known for their use of dynamic sampling techniques, which add excitement and engagement to the audience. In his words, 3LAU wants to use his music to inspire listeners to overcome feelings of isolation and connect with one another.
During a trip to Sweden in 2011, at the age of 20, 3LAU was first introduced to the world of electronic dance music. Upon returning to school, he felt dissatisfied with the state of mashup culture and was determined to create his own music. His diligent experimentation and dedication to his craft paid off, and by June of the following year, he was sharing his creations on YouTube to widespread acclaim.
3LAU’s rise to prominence in the electronic music scene was cemented in 2011 with the release of his beloved bootlegs Girls Who Save the World and All Night Long. His talent was further cemented with his win of a remix contest for his remix of Tiesto’s Work Hard, Play Hard.
An emerging talent in the electronic dance music scene, 3LAU launched his DJ career in 2012 with the highly anticipated 3LAU Your Mind Tour. His debut album, Dance Floor Filth, cemented his status as a rising star in the American electronic music scene, leading to the release of Dance Floor Filth 2 later that year.
In late 2013, 3LAU teamed up with DJ Carnage for the Night Riot Tour, which was met with critical acclaim and widespread acclaim. Jonah Ollman of Sound of Boston praised 3LAU’s live performances, noting that their “mesmerizing mix of mashups, electro-house, and melodic vocal samples [that] kept the young crowd in their 20s enthralled and excited.”
3LAU’s first European tour took place in the summer of 2015, with stops in cities like Barcelona, Berlin and iconic party destination Ibiza. He then headed to Asia, embarking on his first continental tour and wowing audiences in cities like Bangkok, Jakarta and Tokyo.
In 2016, 3LAU founded Blume Records, making history as the first dance music label to operate entirely on a charity basis. All proceeds from Blume releases are donated to charities.
Through its work with Blume, 3LAU has raised a significant amount of money for the nonprofit Pencils of Promise. The funding has been instrumental in building a seven-classroom school in Guatemala, as well as implementing numerous clean water, education, and teacher training programs.
3LAU has previously expressed gratitude to Pencils of Promise for helping build his first school, and in 2018, the organization was able to complete another school in Guatemala thanks to their partnership.
