London-based, 23 year old singer/songwriter Phildel creates epic, piano-driven music which fuses the virtuoso classical genre with contemporary songwriting and mainstream beats. As an entirely self-produced artist, she weaves elements of electronica into her classical style whilst always maintaining her ability to craft unforgettable vocal, as well as instrumental, melodies into each track. Phildel grew up in a strict religous household in which music was forbidden. At the age of eighteen, she left home and began composing and songwriting on the piano, the harsh nature of her up-bringing and the love of those who brought her through it, provide the inspiration for much of her creative work. Since leaving home, she has worked composing and songwriting with a range of other artists - her first studio experience was within Massive Attack's Bristol-based studio, after members from the group welcomed her having warmed to her sound. In the years to follow, Phildel found herself working with some of the UK industry's leading figures, including Sam Dixon (fresh from his collaborations with KT Tunstall) and Phil Bodger, rated as "one of the world's most talented mixer/prodcers", whilst gigging frequently on the London-circuit. Phildel, always keen to manager herself and maintain as much control as possible over her work. Having had her tracks short-listed for Hollywood feature films, Phildel finally found nationwide exposure in 2007, having had her track "Piano B" selected to be used on Expedia's UK TV advertising campaign. Phildel now focuses on the creation of her long-awaited first album and continues to perform in the UK. Phildel's EP is available from www.myspace.com/phildel.
