Phia
https://open.spotify.com/album/2onLZZQy65KuOlHs1r68VP?si=u1ZQlBzY
‘The Ocean Of Everything’ is an album abound with luscious layers of harmonies, rambunctious vocal percussion and vivid pop sensibilities. Raw and affecting lyricism powerfully woven into the hypnotic sound of an instrument made of wood and metal and not much bigger than a postcard! The African kalimba became Phia’s instrument of choice and self-expression.
Phia grew up in Melbourne Australia where she started off working as a session pianist for various projects. In 2011 she bought a one-way ticket to Berlin.
The kalimba and a loop-pedal in the bag, she dared a leap into the unknown that marked the starting point of a musical journey across the world. She played 100s of shows performing her songs almost like a patchwork of images, feelings, memories and reflections. Remote places like bars in Southern Italy or a fisherman’s village in Iceland as well as international festivals in Germany, Poland and elsewhere have since appreciated her talent and brought her a growing audience that has evolved into a loyal fanbase. In search for her ancestral identity she temporarily found a home in Europe, the home of her grandparents.
“I grew up listening to jazz pianist Bill Evans and the Beatles and both have been a huge influence on me.” (Phia)
“We have great expectations for Phia’s debut album”. (Rolling Stone, Germany)
‘The Ocean of Everything’ is an album of musical storytelling and joy, capturing Phia’s fascination for the cultures. It grants the audience an insight into her character; Somebody who is always curious about the world around her and inside of her. The pure sounds of a voice and a kalimba cast the true nature of a far travelled young artist straight into the heart of the listener.
