PHIL G

Philson George Jr. Aka Phil G was born in Bronxville, New York. He began his music career at the tender age of 2. He made music from practically any and everything including his mom’s pots, pans, spoons and even chairs. On any given Sunday he would be by the drummers at Mt. Bethel Pentecostal Church and Faith Redeeming Church, learning and observing, and couldn’t wait for them to step off the drums, so he could have his moment.   

In the early 1990s he truly grew, as he played with his father at New Covenant Christian Church during worship. He matured and grew endlessly as a musician at that church, learning how to keep in pocket and tempo. It was before his teen years that he began taking piano and drum lessons; which he admits, attributed towards his marked improvement and growth as a musician. Not wanting to miss a beat, he continued his musical career into high school where he blossomed into a magnificent player, playing for both the Peekskill HS and Jazz bands.

Phil attended a summer program at the Berklee College of Music There, his skills and techniques magnified as he embraced each course, enabling him to become a more discipline player. He became a soul pocket drummer in every way!

As Musical Director for the label, he performed &  sold out shows at 12 Grapes, The Hudson Room and  other venues. Also performed at the New Year’s Ball Drop in Peekskill in 2015.
