Vera Blue is the name Celia Pavey, born in 1994 and from Forbes, took on after a first life as a folk singer. She came to national attention as a contestant on the second season of The Voice Australia, and her folk-leaning album This Music, released under her own name, went to number 14 on the ARIA Charts in 2013.
As Vera Blue she crossed that folk sensibility with shimmering synth pop, and the combination was striking: a pure, crystalline voice floating over cool electronic beats. The Fingertips EP arrived in 2016 with "Settle", and her debut album Perennial followed in 2017, going gold in Australia, with the slow-burning "Regular Touch" and the fragile "Mended" among its songs. Singles like "All the Pretty Girls", "Lie to Me" and "Temper" kept her on the radio in the years that followed, and two more studio albums have come since.
She's a restless collaborator, too, working with Flume, Illenium, Louis the Child and the rapper Illy. On stage she sings, dances, and plays guitar, violin and the EWI, an electronic wind instrument.
