The Rock Star
Philip's venture into popular music began in high school when he joined a band to cover music by Flogging Molly and The Decemberists as well as writing a few songs of their own.
In college, he joined the classic rock cover band Velvet Runway that fellow Sinfonians had begun a few years earlier in Athens, Georgia. The band continues to play across Atlanta and the Southeast at bars, restaurants, weddings and other private parties. Philip also writes and records original music from his home studio. |
