Artist Bio: Phillip Brooks
demonstrated a great deal of promise early in his career as a Jazz
pianist, keyboardist and producer. By the age of 9 years old, this
Detroit native had already began to write songs to his jazzy piano
styling, and by his teens he was recording and performing live. These
early performance captured the attention of many prominent musicians and
producers like Gospel recording artist and Stellar Award Winner Thomas
Whitfield from Detroit MI, who took an interest in Phillip and his
musical future.
Thomas began to introduce Phillip to many opportunities for showcasing
his musical sound and style. To his musical fortune are recordings with
Gospel artist Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Rev. Paul Morton,
Thomas Whitfield, The Soul Children, out of Chicago IL, and
many others. Phillip also performed as a keyboardist with Commission and
Music Director for Vanessa Bell Armstrong.
In 1994, Phillip’s musical resume began to expand outside the Gospel
genre as he was asked by Anita Baker’s producer Mike Powell to
write music for Recording artist Guess, which was released on
Warner Brother’s record label. Phillip also toured with Mary J Blidge
411 tour and the R&B group Silk Produced by Keith Sweat.
In 2003, Phillip was contracted as Music Director for Jazz artist and
former NBA star Wayman Tisdale. After touring the country with
Wayman, Phillip has found the genre where he is most expressive and
creative. His technique in smooth jazz is demonstrated in his new
release entitled “Just Between Us’ under his own music label The
Mojoy Music Group, which is available at
CDbaby.com. As his
fun and happy piano sound fill your ears with joy and excitement, we do
hope you will agree with us that Phillip Brooks is definitely at home
and his future filled with great promise in Smooth Jazz.Markie
