Robin Phillips
Robin is many things, to some this means multi-talented, to others, a jack of all trades.
He is a singer, pianist, bandleader, presenter, producer, and educator. After quitting a post-graduate job in PR in 2006, he started to build a full-time career in music, one gig at a time, moving to London before relocating to Cambridge, and always trying to improve at his art.
He is the arranger and bandleader of Pinstripe Suit, a speakeasy swing band that has held a residency at the Nightjar speakeasies in London for over a decade. Following his presenting debut in ‘Back To The Source’, he produced and presented over 100 hours of jazz radio for ‘The Jazz Show With Robin Phillips’ for Delux Radio during lockdown.
He teaches and mentors children, adults, and groups in voice, piano, jazz harmony, music tech, and band-craft, as well as produces artists in his own recording studio. He is a session musician and composer, including working extensively with global jazz-house phenomenon Berlioz.
Phillip's latest release 'Return from the Source' took over 25 years to conceive, a six-day motorbike trip to ignite, and a lockdown to compose. We hope you enjoy it and take something from the stories behind, and revealed in, the songs.
