Philip’s fascination with music began at age 3 when he was found to have perfect pitch. Naturally, his response was to play the largest and heaviest instrument he could handle: the cello. By the age of 10, he was touring the U.S., and at 17, he was awarded a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music, where he was trained in cello and composition, and later became Professor. Today, he is known as one of the world’s foremost cellists and in-demand soundtrack composers. Philip was named as one of Origin Magazine’s “Top 100 Creatives in the U.S.” A popular speaker at innovation conferences around the globe such as C2MTL, the EG, and TTI Vanguard, Philip delivers rousing keynotes about the intersection of music and data, innate musical ability within all of us, and other topics that connect music to creativity, tech and introspection. His use of group games and exercises to instantly produce fully-fledged compositions remains a perennial favorite. Philip’s also a dad and a former pub quiz champion who draws great inspiration and solace from books.
