Brief Biography
Originally from Barcelona, the group consisted of Txell Sust, Lucy, and Toni. Blue 4 U's first single, "Happy World" was released in 1998 and became a huge hit in Spain. The group's biggest break that year when Happy World was used in a Estrella Damm beer advert, and consequently became the song of the summer of 1998, reaching #1 on the Spanish singles chart. It stayed at #1 for 5 weeks and also reached number one in the Top 40. With that success, the band went on to record their debut album.
In 1999, Toni left the band and was replaced by a British singer based in Barcelona named Lexter Aubery Smart. In the summer of 1999, Blue 4 U recorded the soundtrack for the animated Spanish film Goomer , which included the single "Boom Boom." Goomer was created in 1981 by two well-known artists internationally Ricardo and Nacho, since then their intergalactic adventures have entertained the newspaper readers worldwide.
Also that summer, Blue 4 U experienced more success when their single "Livin In Jam" was selected for the new Estrella Damm TV commercial. The song was a big success for the group, peaking at number 3 in the official lists of singles, and number in the Top 40.
The Blue Experience
In September 1999, Blue 4 U released their debut album "The Blue Experience." The album was produced by Jordi Cubino and edited by Vale Music, but sadly fails to chart and is a bit of a flop for the group. The group, influenced by the bubblegum dance wave sweeping the world, decide to release a new single "The Furby Song," in a similar style. The new single fails to chart, and in 2000, the group separates.
After the separation, Sust and Lexter Txell continued solo careers in music. Sust has released albums in a jazz-blues style as well as working as a backing vocalist for many artists, including Alejandro Sanz, who has worked on all tours from the year 2000. Lexter released an album, Unbroken, in 2003, whose first single "Jump, Jump!" was again used in the TV commercial Estrella Damm. In 2005, he collaborated with singer Natalia on "I Love This Game", under the name AT.
