Top Ten Biographical facts about Phil Roy
One: I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Feb. 28, 1959
Two: I attended Berklee College of Music as a guitar major and took an interest in songwriting.
Three: I moved to Los Angles in 1981 and within 3 months got signed to Warner Brothers records with my band Carrera by Ted Templeman. A second album with the same band members was released by EMI-Manhattan in 1985. For the most part, no one owns or has ever heard of these recordings.
Four: In 1987 I signed my first of 5 publishing deals to write songs as a staff songwriter in Los Angeles.
Five: I have had the honor of writing songs for some of the greatest Soul/R&B singers of the modern recording era. (Ray Charles, Pop's Staples, Aaron Neville, Joe Cocker, Mavis Staples). Two Academy Award-winning films include my songs. (Leaving Las Vegas & As Good as it Gets).
Six: I got "burnt out" trying to write "hits" for my publishers. In 2000 I self released grouchyfriendly. NPR stations across the country started playing in the album. Won an award, "Independent Album of the Year". Tom Waits, Tim Wenders, Leonard Cohen and assorted radio stations all said nice things about the recording. Met a girl, after 25 years moved back to Philadelphia, got married.
Seven: Recorded Issues & Options, my second solo album. Got signed by Or Music who released the CD in 2004. Other artist on the label included Los Lonely Boys and Matisyahu. Highlights include strong reviews in The NY Times, and a sold out debut performance at Lincoln Center. Got dropped by the record label and divorced my wife.
Eight: My Dog (Travis) and I walk around the park for 6 months thinking about ambition and it's usefulness and uselessness "The I'm Not Leaving The House Tour" is conceived where people come to my home, I cook and perform a concert.
Nine: After more than 2 years, I finally finish The Great Longing. Another year is spent trying to figure out how I could get people to hear my new music. I get introduced to the people at Decca/Universal. On May 20th 2008, finally, after almost 4 years from starting the initial recording sessions, the album is released.
Ten: To be determined at a later date. Check back or contact me. My e-mail is hello@philroy.com
