Dat Phella

Dat Phella is a Chh artist who has spent the past decade striving to make an impactful contribution to the genre. The Toledo native has been pounding the pavement from Ohio to Texas and is certain of one thing, “He's Just Gettin’ Started”. Phella is most known for his desire to see people enlightened and inspired by his music. “I love God…I love people… I love music” is the motto behind his brand “Gap Music”.

Inspired by Hip Hop greats such as Mr. Solo of the Gospel Gangstaz, and The Ambassador from The Crossmovement, Phella began his career in 1999 by joining a local rap group called “Lo Profile” which consisted of 5 other guys, some who would later work with Grammy nominated artists and producers. Phella has been featured on numerous radio and television programs and has performed in many states as well as internationally.

While grateful for the impact that he has made so far, Phella is even more inspired to reach new musical and professional heights as this is just the beginning of his journey. "As a Christian living in such a diverse culture, I believe there are times to talk about Christianity, and times to talk from Christianity." Phella's sound can be compared to the likes of Lecrae and Kendrick Lamar.
