PHILASONIC (seeking Reggae Bass and Drums)

About Me

PHILASONIC music can be described as an eclectic mix from a blend of influences such as Reggae, Ska, Calypso, Soca, Funk, Soul R&B, Disco, Rock, Classical, Miscellaneous Electronica, and a variety of styles.

It's all about exploring, experimenting, being creative with music, and constantly trying to expand horizons, with musicanship, audio engineering, production ideas and techniques, and songwriting, whether writing alone or collaborating with others.

Mainly a singer and guitarist, PHILASONIC also plays drums, bass, keyboard, percussion and even a little bit of mandolin. Also going by the moniker "BALDILOCKS" (for obvious reasons), and playing the roles of songwriter, musician, producer, and recording/mixing/mastering engineer, his songs are captured using an analog console and tube guitar amps, but also some electronic equipment and digital recording. Overall, mostly going with old school techniques and blending with modern methods.
