In the early 90’s Joe organized his R&B, dream version of Defunkt with brilliant songstress, Kelli Sae... Hello! Defunkt “Soul”. Featured in this formation are some of the most dynamic funk/soul/R&B players in the world. Ronnie Mac Jenkins – bass, Scoota Warner – Drums, Bahnamous Bowie – keyboards, and Kelvyn Bell – guitar. On Enemy Records, this group pioneered the pop/funk/R&B sound of Defunkt, featuring Kelli & Joe singing duets in classics like “See Through” and “Knuckle Sandwich”. The songwriting team of Kelli and Joe created a truly special and exciting sound in pop music in this period from 1990-1997. Recording highlights were “Cum Funky” and “One World”.

We now have a refreshed "Defunkt Soul" line-up with very talented new musicians. Defunkt Soul band will return in 2009 with the resurrection of the dynamic “Defunkt Soul” sound.
