[ BIOGRAPHY ]
Dustin Phillips - (Musician * Music Instructor * Engineer)
As you may know by now, my name is indeed Dustin[Taylor]Phillips and I am 21 from the Minneapolis, MN area. I adore music and everything revolved around it. Drums was my first passion for 16 years, piano next for 12 years, guitar and vocals for 9 years, and bass for 3 year. Songwriting as a musician and producer has been a huge part of my life as of the past 8 years. I spend most of my time rocking out with others or by myself, otherwise I love meeting new music fanatics.
My future goals and dreams are to one day become a full-time rock star. I just graduated from McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul, MN with a degree in Music Business. I'm not quite sure exactly what I am going to do with my degree, but I'm thinking along the lines of Band Management, Recording, or Graphic Design/Marketing.
The group I perform in, Thru The Static (myspace.com/thruthestatic), has been playing locally around and just released our second album... check us out! I am a solo artist looking for talented musicians to rock with. I'm looking for local talent in drums, guitar, bass, vocals, etc. to rock out on my solo project. I am also available in drums, guitar, bass, and/or vocals to jam with other musicians and bands, or work for hire!
Thank you to all of you who have been supporting me since day one. It truly means the world to me.
