Philip Jonathan’s songs are carefully crafted from deep, personal meditations on the most raw and vulnerable moments of life; a reflection on the questions that rise to the surface, and a relentless hunt for the beauty that can be found within. Beyond the lyrics, he hopes to communicate a sense of narrative through the compositions themselves. Drawing musical inspiration from the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:6UUrUCIZtQeOf8tC0WuzRy" data-name="Sigur Rós">Sigur Rós</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:5schNIzWdI9gJ1QRK8SBnc" data-name="Ben Howard">Ben Howard</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:0XHM5ZNJDU8e4CfbWMeSzC" data-name="Roo Panes">Roo Panes</a>, his deep, story-telling lyrics are set intimately against sweeping soundscapes reflecting the wind-blasted coast and richly-coloured hills of his North East home.
Classically trained in piano and violin, he rediscovered his love for music by playing with the likes of The Lamplight Poet and <a href="spotify:artist:1Bj310qWCdWOMTCubqgaPj" data-name="Tom Joshua">Tom Joshua</a>, exploring a range of new genres. More recently, he has stepped up to the stage himself - building broad, varied arrangements using a loop pedal, juxtaposed with intimate acoustic sets.
His debut single ’Seafront’ (May ‘21) and follow-up single ‘I, Hope’ (July ‘21) were released with widespread blog and playlist coverage. Both were featured on BBC Introducing in the North East, Indie Folk Central and other local radio. Seafront received No. 1 in the UKCC June Indie/folk/acoustic charts and I, Hope was ‘Track of the Week’ on Folklore Radio. His latest single, In the Garden is out now. An EP is scheduled for early 2022.
