Your name:
Phil Jackson.
Where are you from?
Ipswich, Suffolk, UK.
How would you describe yourself?
I am a singer/songwriter/performer/multi-instrumentalist/producer who
enjoys writing different styles of songs in
Pop/Rock/Folk/Country/RockNRoll...whatever and performing whenever I get the
opportunity.
Who are your main influences
musically?
Too many to mention really but - Queen, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jim Reeves,
Simon & Garfunkel, Beatles, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, Everly Brothers,
Johnny Cash... and lots of others. I enjoy alot of singers from the crooners to
the old country/blues/folk singers and into general pop culture. Singing
is a big part of what shapes my music :)
What do you hope to achieve in
music?
Like anyone, I would like to be as successful as possible,
whatever form that may take. But, I would love for my songs to have a
life of their own and communicate to lots of people as I think they have a
lot of appeal and positive sentiments for people to relate to and enjoy. I
would also enjoy being more successful as a performer, as it's a big part
of who I am and I feel I have a lot to give.
What has been the highlight of
your career so far, and why?
Probably playing at Latitude 2011 with my previous band The B Goodes www.bgoodes.com . It was something we couldn't
have imagined doing at the time and it was a special moment. Also performing
with Neil Innes of the Rutles/Monty Python/Bonzo Dog Band in 2010 was like
a dream realised.
And what’s the moment you want
to forget?
Hmmmm, not sure... probably my previous band splitting up. We had
something really very special but didn't realise our full potential in the
public conscience.
If you could choose just one of
your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Not easy to answer as I write quite different styles, but I guess the
song 'So Long Gone' is very me. A very moody but pretty ballad that has a lot
of dream like qualities and everyone seems to like it, it's also
featured on my debut EP I've just released.
