About Me

My name is Phil. I’m 21. I write songs and play them on my piano/guitar. I am also a person. I am currently busy writing/recording tracks in London and Los Angeles for my first album, working with lots of great and talented writers, producers and artists. This has been very enjoyable for me. When I’m not doing that, I like playing gigs and in the last 6 months have played shows alongside the likes of 10cc, Nerina Pallot, Orson, Amy Macdonald, Seth Lakeman and Cara Dillon amongst others. Here are some nice things that some lovely people have said about me:
"He’s really remarkably good - uplifting and perfectly produced" JEREMY VINE - BBC RADIO 2"Absolutely beautiful track. It grabs at you and just doesn’t let go. I can listen to this over and over and not tire one bit.....he slides into the category of legendary solo artists yet to be discovered." INDIE MUSIC NEWS
"Truly one of the best live music events I have ever attended" LONDON METRO (GIG REVIEW)
