About Me

Philip, a native of Jacksonville, Florida has a Contemporary, Hip-Hop/R&B Gospel sound that will touch todays generation. His worship style and voice parallels some of the great male Christian and R&B voices in today's music industry. Philip is currently working on his first Gospel CD with Soldier Sound Records. Philip has sang backup for the likes of Judith McCallister, Lisa McClendon and Debbie Winans. He has provided hooks for Hip/Hop gospel acts such as Pettidee . He is also known amongst several peers such as Juan Winans (Formerly of Winans Phase II), Lisa Kimmey Winans (Formerly of Out Of Eden) and Gospel Hip/Hop Pioneers Grits. The new album will be a fuse of R&B and Hip-Hop music along with powerful messages to encourage all that hear it. Be on the look out for it!
