SPLASHING OUT . . . INTO THE BLUE

So many inventive soul-, funk-, and jazz-based bands don’t fit into a narrow box and are overlooked by the mainstream music industry, prompting David Ranalli and Julian Fontenell to form Splash Music Productions — and for me, along with Ravi Chidambaram to join them with my own imprint, Splash Blue. As a songwriter and producer, I have worked with a host of leg

endary artists, from R&B icons and powerhouse vocalists to contemporary jazz musicians to international multi-instrumentalists and songwriters, including George Benson, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Philip Bailey, Jocelyn Brown, George Duke, Al Jarreau, Marcus Miller, Paul Weller, Maxi Priest, Mario Biondi, and many more. For my work as a performing artist, I’m widely known as a founding member of several groundbreaking British Jazz-Funk and Soul bands, including Light of the World, Freeez, The Warriors, and Para:Diso, as well as the internationally renowned band, Incognito, now in its 35th year. With passion, creativity, and a deep-rooted love of music, David, Julian, Ravi and I are thrilled to bring you on a sonic adventure that will open your ears, blow your minds, fill your souls, and move your feet (and hearts) to dance!

# # A Legendary Honor for a Musical Icon. # #

The man, the legend, the ultimate musical genius, and the visionary founder of Incognito—**Jean-Paul “Bluey” Maunick**—has officially been awarded an MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for his monumental services to music.

To say this prestigious honor is long overdue would be a massive understatement. For over four decades, Bluey has been the beating heart of the global soul, jazz-funk, and British music scenes. As the driving force behind Incognito, he didn’t just create a band; he championed a movement, shaped the definitive soundtrack of UK groove, and opened doors for countless artists worldwide.

From pioneering the classic Brit-funk sound to constantly evolving as a producer, songwriter, and collaborator, Bluey’s boundless energy and infectious passion have left an indelible mark on the industry. This MBE is a beautifully deserved recognition of a lifetime dedicated to spreading love, unity, and unparalleled rhythm through the power of music.

Salute from the team at Splash Music Productions / Splash Blue to the captain—congratulations, Bluey!
