Jeff Phillips Biography

Biography

Jeff Phillips is a singer/songwriter originally from New York City, home of the Yankees and the best Sicilian pizza in the world. Born with no movement in his left hand, Jeff found that by playing guitar left-handed (using his dysfunctional hand for strumming) and playing with only a pick essentially taped to his hand, he was able to learn with very minimal hand use. Against the odds, Jeff attended and graduated from the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he majored in Performance and Composition.

He has since performed on the Mitch Albom show out of Detroit and the Bree Walker show in Los Angeles and his music is receiving strong college and internet radio play. Jeff recently recorded his 2nd album, Drifting Homeward, in Sherman Oaks, California with producer Steve B. . Songs from Jeff's albums are being used in the documentary film "the Sandwich Kid" from filmmaker Keri Bowers as well as the film "Bumping off Burt" from Q-station productions.

The CD is now available on CD Baby, and iTunes. The work is a mixture of both guitar and piano driven songs, reminiscent of the classic singer/songwriter royalty, but with a feel and sound all its own. The infectious groove and intelligent lyrics on Drifting Homeward create a meaningful, and most of all fun listening experience.

Currently, Jeff resides in Los Angeles, California where he can be seen exciting audiences with his energetic live performances. He has recently opened for bands such as the English Beat and the Smithereens as well as being chosen to play at the acclaimed Boise Indie-fest at Quest arena. His most recent credit was being featured on the last installment of Frosty, Heidi and Frank's "Should I Stay or Should I go" where he won acclaim and more than a few new fans.
