Music Career and Albums
Early Music (2015-2019)
Navy Blue started releasing his own music in 2015. These early songs were often part of EPs, which are like mini-albums. He also worked with other artists, rapping and producing music for them. Some of these artists include Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, and Wiki.
Starting His Own Label (2020-2021)
On February 4, 2020, Navy Blue created his own independent record label called Freedom Sounds. This was also when he released his very first studio album, Àdá Irin. He quickly followed up with two more albums: Song of Sage: Post Panic! in 2020 and Navy's Reprise in 2021.
The Quadrilogy (2022)
In 2022, Navy Blue released a special collection of four albums. This collection is called a quadrilogy. It included Song of Sage: Post Panic! and three new albums: Gift of Gabriel: Rain’s Reign!, Crypt of Carlos: Onward!, and Arc of Atreyu: Neverending!. The last three albums were only available as physical vinyl records. Each album title in the quadrilogy uses one of Sage's four names.
New Labels and Recent Albums (2023-2024)
In 2023, Navy Blue signed with a big record label called Def Jam Recordings. He released a new song called "Chosen" in March. Later that month, his seventh studio album, Ways of Knowing, came out. This album was released under his own Freedom Sounds label, but with a special agreement with Def Jam. The album featured other artists like Zeroh and Liv.e.
A year later, in August 2024, Navy Blue released his eighth album, Memoirs in Armour. He recorded this album quickly after leaving Def Jam Recordings.
