about phen.
Hailing from the city of Syracuse, NY, PHEN is emerging as a compelling voice in the contemporary music scene. With a unique blend of catchy melodies and poignant lyrics, he seeks to explore the depths of real human experiences, making a profound connection with his audience. His music is a reflection of his genuine emotions and personal journey, resonating with listeners from all walks of life.
PHEN's love for music and creativity began long before he decided to pursue it as a career. his loved ones would tell you he was clapping in time at six months old, writing songs by age four, and singing regularly at their church by age six.
throughout his teen years, phen began to take songwriting more and more seriously, until ultimately deciding against attending college, in favor of pursuing a full time music career. from there, phen began his music journey, releasing a handful of projects under his birth given name, Stephen phillips.
his early work was fueled by inspirations of funk, r&b, and pop, the kind of music people could have fun with and dance to. he released a six track ep titled “big eyes & rosy cheeks” in 2019, selling out a local theater for the release party. he followed up that ep with a handful of singles between 2020-2023. in 2023, he decided it was time to take his artistry in a new direction, in essence, starting from the beginning, hence, phen was born.
“my whole life, i’ve always felt that i fit in everywhere and nowhere all at once,” phen says, “i hope my music speaks to those quiet outsiders.”
