Future-soul-fabulousness. The Philharmonik is an American hip hop n’ soul R & B recording artist, and producer from Sacramento, whose self produced debut was released in 2018. They recently won the top nod for the esteemed NPR Tiny Desk Concert of the year contest. The Philharmonik’s musical beginnings started in Cleveland, taking classical piano at the age of 5 after he attended a concert with his mom. When he returned home from the concert he began to play songs he heard note for note on the piano. His family signed him up for lessons with a teacher who played for the Cleveland Orchestra and thus his training began. The Philharmonik was inspired by the great legends in music early on in his childhood, as it was not uncommon to hear the likes of Bach, Beethoven, Stevie Wonder, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, Lou Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Earth, Wind & Fire, Ozzy Osbourne, The Eagles, Eric Clapton, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Santana, The Beatles and a few hundred other artists playing around the house. Composers such as Hans Zimmer, James Horner and country music artists Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash, were also on the list. The Philharmonik even participated in a community choir and church choir. Cutting his mom’s dreams short, The Philharmonik ended his participation when he could no longer hold back the rhythm in his soul set afire after he discovered hip-hop. His Hip-Hop and R&B Artist inspirations include Kanye West, The Roots, Outkast, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, India Arie, Alicia Keys, Common and Chance the Rapper just to name a few.
