Blonde is a UK deep house duo from Bristol consisting of Jacob Mansen and Adam Englefield.

They came to prominence in the UK after BBC DJ Greg James played their track “I Loved You” on his dance anthems programme. “I Loved You” features reggae and pop singer Melissa Steel, and has received favourable cover in Clash magazine.

In May 2014 Blonde released their debut single “Foolish”, which featured vocals from Ryan Ashley. In July 2014, they released their second single “Higher Ground”, which featured vocals from Charli Taft. They came to prominence in the UK after their single “I Loved You” featuring Melissa Steel premiered on 21 November 2014. “I Loved You” was playlisted by BBC Radio 1 and received regular airplay. The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 7 and the Scottish Singles Chart at number 10.

Blonde released another single by the name of “All Cried Out” featuring vocals from Glee actor Alex Newell which has reached at number 4 on the UK charts. The duo’s fifth single, “Feel Good (It’s Alright)”, features Karen Harding.

When it came into 2016, they collaborated with returning record producer and star to the music industry Craig David on the song “Nothing Like This”. It was part of David’s collaborative period which included artists such as Big Narstie, Katy B and Kaytranada and is also a single off of his sixth studio album, entitled Following My Intuition.

Blonde also featured as well as co-written Imani Williams’s debut single, entitled “Don’t Need No Money”, alongside rising house record producer and DJ Sigala. Together, they took part in first ever major featured project as independent musicians. Imani got the inspiration of the track after she exploded into the music industry with Sigala on his 2016 single “Say You Do”, alongside drum and bass music producer DJ Fresh.

They also co-wrote the Rudimental and Ed Sheeran song “Lay It All on Me” with Johnny Harris and James Newman. The song was originally conceived in a session between Blonde, Harris and Newman before being pitched to Rudimental. Ed Sheeran was later brought in on the track and re-wrote the break of the song.
