More about Rory Phillips:
With a deep love of music flowing through his veins, Rory Phillips is not your average 13-year-old. Even his musical influences don’t fit the mould of a usual teenager & after flicking through his eclectic playlist, you could be forgiven for mistaking him as a child of the seventies. In fact, most who meet him describe him as an “old soul”, a badge he wears with pride.
Having first stepped onto a stage at age seven, Rory has already achieved more than most & has his sights set high for the future. A gifted musician, Rory is most comfortable with a guitar in his hands but also loves the microphone! Musically, he sits anywhere in the realm of blues/Americana/alt-country & aside from his dynamic playing, most say it is his confidence & stage presence which sets him apart from his peers. Bill Chambers has described Rory as “always displaying a professional enthusiasm way beyond his years, and definitely has a way with an audience” & is just one of a long list of industry heavyweights to have invited Rory to share the stage with him.
