Live & Studio VOcals

live Backing vocals

Live Backing Vocals and Choir vocals for artists such as; Stevie Wonder, Laura Mvula, George Ezra, Matt Goss, Il Divo, Matt Redman and many more.

I’ve been fortunate enough to experience singing in some of the worlds most iconic venues; The Royal Albert Hall, Glastonbury Pyramid Stage, KOKO, Shepards Bush and Hammersmith Empire as well as Wembley arena and The London Olympic Stadium. I have sung in live performances on some of television’s biggest shows Jools Holland, Strictly Come Dancing, Graham Norton Show, Chatty Man and live lounges on Radio 1 and Radio 2. I also performed at the closing ceremony of the London Olympic Games with Urban Voices Collective choir backing Elbow, Muse, Take That, The Who and many more.

Whether live on national TV, singing in my local church or in tiny venues around the UK, there is NOTHING like being in a room collaborating with incredible musicians in a moment with a live audience / congregation. We experience something of significance together and I don’t take that for granted.

“I had the pleasure of touring with Philly during our time working together with Laura Mvula. I was struck not only by her obvious gifts as a vocalist, but also by her stylistic versatility, speed in learning parts, ability to blend, and by her first class level of dedication in work ethic & preparation. A consummate professional, Philly brings a truly positive and supportive energy  and is a invaluable asset whether live or in the studio ...I can’t recommend her highly enough”

“It’s simple, Philly is just very very good. It’s so rare to work with that combination of great personality, raw talent, and tonal character - always professional, always listening and technically aware. Whether she’s singing BV’s or leads for me the results are excellent. Plus, she’s a joy-and-smile-madness to have in the studio!!”
