1:1 Vocal coach & Artist Development
I am a strong believer that we are all made to sing, we are hardwired to express ourselves and to lift our voices. It is primal, powerful and should always be a total joy.
My aim as a vocal coach is to see my clients equipped to sing freely, expressively and sustainably. I love working with artists and helping them realise their true sound and vocal potential as well as helping the artist deliver phenomenal performances on stage and in the studio.
“Being coached by Philly was one of those experiences I will carry with me throughout me career. There’s so many amazing things I could list but a big thing that stood out for me was her patience. Every vocalist is different and she really adapts her knowledge to bring out the best in you. The best vocal coach I’ve ever had.”
