org-ref should work fine for biblatex, but the setup for biblatex in the
org file is a bit different than for bibtex.

The org-ref manual can be opened by running M-x org-ref-help. Go to the **
biblatex users heading. Hopefully that is clear enough to help. If not, let
me know what is missing.

Best wishes,


John
