PhiLLy PhiL

Coming to a PhiLLy PhiL performance show the audience can expect excitement, thrills and an emotional roller coaster driven by my experiences told through music. My audience can expect me to share my everyday personal life experiences as well as thoughts with them through song. Because I am personally impacted from the music I create, the audience gets the chance to connect with me live, in their faces, instead of just through audio and or device. Energy is what I give at all my shows to my listeners. I like for the crowd to feel my emotions and lyrics whether via radio, television or live in their living room. I also believe in artist whom perform live should bring a slight enhanced change up in the songs their listeners love very much. I like for the audience to anticipate hearing specific songs but I also enjoy seeing their faces light up when something minor but noticeable is added to the live performance track they love dearly. I am very professional in how I conduct business with customers as well as selective. I am also positively motivated and driven, ambitious and determined when it comes to presenting a memorable performance. With any and everything in life that I am involved with I always place my best efforts on the front-line. I don't believe my performances are second to any performer out today, so when I take the stage you'll take notice!

I carry with me my own personal cordless microphones.
I don't provide multi-colored lights at my shows but do appreciate them when they're available.
I would need for a surround system or audio system or mixing board to be available upon hire at the designated location.
When performing without a band I perform my music via audio cd or personal DJ which depends on what you the customer wants which can be discussed upon hiring due to difference in pricing.
Sometimes I bring a lady or two fro props at my shows or sometimes I rock the stage solo.
A stage is always great and preferred when performing but not always necessary.
