Although
he hails from a small town in Wyoming, Philip Clark entered the
world with rhythm & blues in his blood. By the age of fourteen he
was already writing songs and rocking regularly in his Uncle Milt's
quartet. Blessed with near perfect pitch, Philip continued to hone
his craft with a formal degree in music and thereafter in some of
Denver, Los Angeles', and NYC's hottest studios as a session ace
and veteran producer. Consequently, you'll find Clark's name linked
to a wide range of projects including full-length albums, EP's and
record industry demos for a distinguished roster including Zulu
Nation, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Repercussions, Afrikka Bambatta,
and Groove Collective.
But
Philip Clark isn't one to remain behind the scenes. In addition
to sharing the stage with the Godfather of Soul, James Brown, in
Las Vegas, and headlining the House of Blues in L.A, Clark is also
a two-time winner of the Apollo Theatre's original world famous
Amateur Night competition. You can find Philip Clark currently navigating
the concrete canyons of New York City's hotspots with his band,
"Dreamchilde." As keyboardist, sax-man and vocalist, Clark is joined
by a multi-talented ensemble, including bassist Christopher North,
urban-funk timepiece Casual-T, groove guitarist Oscar Bautista and
smouldering backup vocalist Michael Ashanti. Their string of performances
continue to energize the fervid, word-of-mouth uprising that is
quickly developed around this budding star.
With
his intelligent, addictive grooves and smooth R & B repetoire, Philip
Clark deserves to be heard. Sensual. Soulful. Pure ear candy.
