If you asked him, Phil would tell you that he’s “a kid from Jersey I guess”. That’s exactly the approach he takes with his music and songwriting. He likes to write about the circus that is, everyday life. “I like to write about things people can relate to, but from a different perspective than they’re used to…at least I hope it comes across that way. I like to think that songs like ‘high heels and a miniskirt’ and ‘paper airplanes’ have common themes, but are delivered in a unique sort of way”.
