The DJ List

Biography

Language: English

Phil was born on 8th of Dec., 1983 in Bottrop. At the age of 7 he visited the elementary school Fuerstenberg in Bottrop. When he was young he developed the interest for playing soccer. When he was 8 years old, he had his first contact with music. He played a lot on the Keyboard – his uncle’s Technics Keyboard. But one day his father asked him if he wanted to visit the Music school and Phil was nothing loath to do it. Phil visited this music school for 2 years, but he realized that the teacher was not able to spend enough time with him, so he decided to take Keyboard lessons from a private coach. Now Phil took Keyboard lessons from a private coach at the age of 10 after all. As early as the time in the elementary school he used to play for every little ceremony, such as Birthday parties or Christmas parties. Playing Soccer took place occasionally. After taking Keyboard lessons from a private coach for 10 long years now, Phil decided that it would be enough and he wanted to develop his own style.

In 1996 Phil was not only interested in producing music but also in general things in being a DJ. In the year 2000, Phil got Internet access, but he still didn’t know about any existing Music-Communities in the Internet. After he finished the secondary school “Gustav Heinemann”, he visited the vocational school in Bottrop and there he learned the subject area automation engineering and after 2 years he got the graduation diploma. At the same time Phil made music with the easy Music Maker. At this time he didn’t know about existing more professional music software. A lot of songs came in being, but were still of no use. In the year 2001 he was successful with his first big hit “Alone”, which found the awaited access to the community. In the middle of 2002 Phil got to know the music community MyOwnMusic. There he found out that he was able to present his music to other musicians and users. Of course he was curious and wanted to know how other people would like his songs. Yet he produced the next smash hit “Melody of Life”, which was the most successful and became No. 1 in the charts at myownmusic. “Melody of Life” also had a position on the Compilation “Nettrance”. This Compilation was presented and sold in summer 2002 at different locations at the Love Parade 2002 in Berlin. In September 2002 Phil’s second single “Trance Mission 2002” – a reproduction of the version from 1999 – came out. This single put up a good show in the charts of the community myownmusic, but it did not reach equal status with “Melody Of Life”. Phil realized that his music found access to all other portals and music communities. One day he had this idea and said that it would not be enough to work with software alone, but to create the sound more powerful and nice. That is why he build up a small home studio with all the needed hardware, software etc. Since September 2002 Phil is doing his education as “energy electronician”. He really would like to produce music professionally, but he knows that it is not an easy way.
