Phil Bellante is an accomplished songwriter, musician, and producer. People of all ages and backgrounds identify with his music and are moved by his messages. Phil recently teamed up with a Grammy award winning master sound engineer and other notable studio players to assist in the orchestration of his latest EP3 Release.
The latest EP features songs that carry across various genres so expect to hear these singles from this EP on a wide range of radio stations and at various musical venues.
His current single released on this third EP, “All In” has stoked the interest of the poker community and has generated several interviews to date and several endorsements /reviews from Pro Poker players including Phil Gordon and Annie Duke.
Born in Cleveland, OH, Phil Bellante, as a child, immersed himself in endless hours of a wide variety of music that has shaped his unique sound. “My Mom has always been an amazing poet and my grandmother could sit at the piano for hours even into her late 90s and create meaningful songs. I have inherited those gifts and have always felt the strong desire to share them with the world,” claimed Phil.
Phil has always been fascinated with music’s effect on the human soul and its ability to unite people across various cultures with varying philosophical beliefs and communicate messages to invoke personal and/or communal change.
In Phil’s words, “My lyrics and the overall direction of my music have come from my vast life experiences and observation of others. I constantly look under the surface of things to get to what really matters. My music simply leads people to places in their soul to help them see things clearly… that is the best way I can describe it.”
After a few years of songwriting, Phil was introduced to Aaron Redfield who has worked with the likes of Switchfoot and other notable artists with Atlantic and Epic Records. Aaron is a gifted musician and drummer and encouraged him to begin recording his songs and performing. “This was when I really began to feel that music is what I wanted to do with my life, I felt a sense of purpose. Ever since then, the doors have been opening, the opportunities evolving, and the music and production widely embraced and respected by industry professionals and people from all walks of life”.
His most notable musical influences include the likes of Tracy Chapman, Bruce Springsteen, Eddie Vedder, John Cougar, and Bono from a lyrical content perspective, and Daughtry, Lifehouse, Snow Patrol, Switchfoot, Foo Fighters, Goo Goo Dolls, Edwin McCain, Third Day, Seven Mary Three, and Keith Urban on the arrangement side of his music.
Currently residing in Southern California, Phil was recently chosen, out of thousands of performers, as a candidate for the 2009 Musicpalooza competition. He just completed an acoustic tour with his last performance at the famous Lestat’s, in San Diego, where the likes of Jason Mraz and Jewel performed early in their careers. He has assembled a group of talented musicians and is currently booking full band performances all over the country with a focus on Casinos.
