2003–2008: Plantlife

Before working as a music producer for other artists, Jack Splash produced and was the lead singer of an underground funk band from Los Angeles called Plantlife. In November 2004, Plantlife released their debut album The Return of Jack Splash via several different independent record labels internationally. Noted UK BBC Radio 1 DJ Gilles Peterson was one of the first early supporters of the band. The Return of Jack Splash was nominated and subsequently won Album of the Year at Peterson's Worldwide Awards in 2004. [1] The album received critically acclaim; HipHopDX gave the album a rating of 9.5/10 and called it "incredibly funky funk from the soul". [2] In 2008, Plantlife released their second album Time Traveller on Decon Records. [3] The album was also critically acclaimed, with Pitchfork rating the album a 7.9/10 and writing that "singer/producer Jack Splash draws from Prince, Parliament-Funkadelic, The Ohio Players, and Rick James on a well-crafted love letter to funk." [4]

2008–present: Production work

After touring internationally with Plantlife, Splash began producing for several artists whom he met while on the road. [5] The first artist he met and produced outside of his own band was CeeLo Green. To date, Jack Splash has been nominated for eleven Grammys and won three. In 2008 Splash won a Grammy for Best R&B Album for Jennifer Hudson's album Jennifer Hudson . [6] That same year, the Jack Splash-produced song "I'm His Only Woman" (performed by Hudson and Fantasia) was nominated for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group. [7] In 2009, Splash was nominated for Best Contemporary R&B Album for Jazmine Sullivan's Fearless . [8] In 2010, Splash was again nominated for Best R&B Album for Anthony Hamilton's The Point of It All . [9] In 2011, Splash's production for CeeLo Green "Fool for You" (featuring Melanie Fiona) won two Grammy Awards for Best R&B Song and Best Traditional R&B Performance.

[11] In 2012 Splash received another Grammy nomination for Melanie Fiona's "Wrong Side of a Love Song" for Best Traditional R&B Performance. [12] In 2013, the Jack Splash-produced song "Now or Never" (written by Kendrick Lamar, Jack Splash and Jazmine Sullivan, and performed by Lamar and Mary J.

In 2014, Splash took a short hiatus from producing for artists to focus on two of his side projects. The first group he formed with R&B singer Bobby Caldwell, Cool Uncle, released its debut album in 2015. Rolling Stone called the album "2015's Smartest Retro-Soul Revival" [15] and Pitchfork selected the Cool Uncle song "Break Away" (featuring Jessie Ware) as one of the best tracks of 2015. [16] The second side group, Semi Hendrix, was formed in 2014 with Los Angeles hip hop musician Ras Kass. The duo released their debut album Breakfast at Banksy's in 2015 via Mello Music Group.

The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard Alternative Albums chart and also made the top 10 of the Top Rock Albums chart. [19] The lead single from the album, "Apollo", was called "Prince-worthy funk" by Rolling Stone. The song spent 20 weeks in the top 20 on Billboard's Adult Alternative Songs chart and peaked at number three on November 3, 2018, making it the band's first top-five Billboard radio airplay ranking. [19] St. Paul & The Broken Bones performed several Jack Splash-produced songs on both The Jimmy Kimmel Show [20] and Late Night with Seth Meyers . [21]

In 2018, again after seeing an NPR Tiny Desk performance, Splash began working with the New Orleans band Tank and the Bangas. The band won NPR's 2017 Tiny Desk Contest.
