His loved ones would tell you he was clapping in time at six months old, writing songs by age four, and singing regularly at their  church by age six.    Throughout his teen years, PHEN began to take songwriting more and more seriously, until ultimately deciding against attending college, in favor of pursuing a full time music career. From there, PHEN began his music journey, releasing a handful of projects under his birth given name.   his early work was fueled by inspirations of funk, r&b, and pop, the kind of music people could have fun with and dance to. he released a six track ep titled “big eyes & rosy cheeks” in 2019, selling out a local theater for the release party. he followed up that ep with a handful of singles between 2020-2023. In 2023, he decided it was time to take his artistry in a new direction, in essence, starting from the beginning, hence, PHEN was born.    “My whole life, I've always felt that I fit in everywhere and nowhere all at once,” PHEN says, "I hope my music speaks to those quiet outsiders.”
