Blue Nightmare aka Christopher Dorismond is a Miami-based rapper, singer, songwriter, producer, and dancer. Blue Nightmare’s earliest memory of wanting to make music came when he was 6-years-old, and gifted a copy of FutureSex/LoveSounds, the 2006 album by Justin Timberlake. Particularly, Blue Nightmare was amazed by Timbaland’s innovative production across the album, especially on the song, “What Goes Around...Comes Around.” Other childhood memories of music involve being heavily exposed to many types of music including rock, R&B, rap, electronic, and kompa, being from a Haitian family. Today, Blue Nightmare lists his biggest influences as Timbaland, Tyler, The Creator, The Neptunes, Aaliyah, Kanye West, Drake, Soulection, and 90’s R&B.

Blue Nightmare’s sound can best be described with the word “contrast.” Across his discography, he regularly fuses light and dark, new and old, chill and hard, etc. Blue Nightmare had his most notable feat in 2019 where he received a production credit on King Von and YNW Melly’s “Rollin.” As a solo artist, Blue Nightmare released his first project, Quaranthree in 2020, inspired by quarantining during the COVID-19 pandemic. The vibey, 3-track effort includes a tracklist of “Let,” “Me,” and “Out,” referring to the thoughts of a Gen Zer dying to get out into the world and live a meaningful life. The same year, Blue Nightmare went viral for his talent behind the boards, earning over 3 million views on his YouTube mashup of Don Toliver’s “No Idea” and Aaliyah’s “One in a Million.” In 2021, he returned with Songsabout…, a 5-track EP that he would re-release later in the year slowed and reverbed. The project is highlighted by the opening track, “Anothersongboutlove.”

Blue Nightmare is currently working on multiple projects, some of his own and some for other artists, both as an artist and as a producer. In April 2022, Blue Nightmare released “A Farewell to Self-Sabotage.”
