Phil D

As a senior in the field of Rock & Roll I started playing in bands at the age of 14 and writing my own music shortly thereafter. I played in numerous cover bands throughout my teens and early twenties. After marrying, I drifted away from the music scene and went corporate.

As a senior in the field of Rock & Roll I started playing in bands at the age of 14 and writing my own music shortly thereafter. I played in numerous cover bands throughout my teens and early twenties. After marrying, I drifted away from the music scene and went corporate. Married for 30 plus years and working for almost as long, I ended my corporate career as a Director of Human Resources. I underwent open-heart surgery at the age of 49 and at that point realized that should I have died, my music would have died with me. As soon as I recovered from the surgery, I purchased a digital recorder and began to record layered tracks of all the songs I had written, playing all of the instruments and doing all of the vocals. That's right! just me. Currently I am without a band. The instruments and vocals on my CDs were all recorded one track at a time. I even began writing again. I have recorded 10 CDs and am in the process of getting an 11th ready for distribution. My music is a combination of Retro-Rock with present day influences. It's Classic Rock, Pop/Rock, R&B and a touch of Dance. It reflects my inner thoughts, desires and feelings. In short it is what I feel and what I have experienced. The close call with the maker made me realize that my creative side wasn't finished just yet. In addition to my music I also wrote a book titled 'Music In My Head' which is available at Amazon .com, Barnes & Nobel.com and many other on-line retail venues or at your favorite bookstores. You just need to ask for It by Name. I highly recommend it. Read my Book! Listen To the 10 CD Sound Track! That's right, I always considered my music the sound track to my books. I am currently in the process of writing another titled ‘Diamonds & Dirt’. Both are based on songs I have written & recorded.My self recorded CDs in chronological order are: Finally! Friendship Road. Drawn In. Keeping It Simple. Phil-osophy. What's Your Story? Crystal Imagination. Noche Blue, Wet Paint & Phil-Harmonic.
