Matt Bianco are a British band that were formed in 1983. They are mainly known for their success in the mid-1980s and their jazz, Latin-flavoured music. The group’s name suggests that Matt Bianco is a person, often assumed to be an alias for the main member and front man Mark Reilly. According to the group, however, Matt is in fact “a made up spy, a secret agent; we loved spy TV themes and film scores“. Matt Bianco was formed in 1983 by Mark Reilly (vocals), Danny White (keyboard), Kito Poncioni (bass) – all of whom had just left art pop group Blue Rondo A La Turk) – and vocalist Basia Trzetrzelewska.[ ’Indigo’, Matt Bianco’s third album, was Warner Brothers’ attempt to launch Matt Bianco in the United States, hence the hiring of Emilio Estefan (Gloria Estefan’s husband) as producer. He contributed to three of the tracks on the album, including the first single “Don’t Blame It on That Girl“. By reaching number 23 in the UK Albums Chart, Indigo became the highest-charting album for the group, and it also includes their highest-charting single, the double A-side “Don’t Blame It on That Girl“ / “Wap-Bam-Boogie“, reaching number 11 in the UK Singles Chart.
