From working at a record store or flipping burgers at McDonald's to collaborating with Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan, Bluey’s (@IncognitoOfficial) journey is nothing short of legendary. 🎶✨ In this episode, the Incognito frontman takes Rob Cass through the highs and lows of his career—from his early days in London to pioneering the unmistakable sound of acid jazz that took the world by storm.
With over four decades in show business, Bluey has worked with icons like George Benson, Maxi Priest, and Paul Weller, but his passion remains the same—creating music that connects. He shares the powerful lessons he learned in the industry, how music became the language of his heart, the thrill of playing with his idols, and why greatness exists in every generation. His insights on artistry, perseverance, and staying true to himself—even when the industry wasn’t always welcoming—are a must-hear for any music lover.
To top it all off, Bluey treats us to a stunning acoustic performance of "Colibri" 🎸🔥—a rare moment of raw, soulful magic. This episode is packed with stories, wisdom, and inspiration that will make you see music in a whole new light. Tune in now!
