Alias of artist, producer and songwriter Jacob Allen
PUMA BLUE is the alias of artist, producer and songwriter, Jacob Allen. Originally from South-London, currently based in Atlanta, Puma Blue first gained wider attention with his EPs Swum Baby (2017) and 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 and 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 and 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 and 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.
