PhilJohn has been an urban music enthusiast since childhood. In 2005, PHILJOHN discovers a talent in penning his own lyrics full of rhymes. He participated in school competitions and concerts until 2006 when he became a professional artist recording his first official song titled  “SQUAD ROOM” with Rept’hil .Thereafter, he multiplied his recordings and discovered another passion that became his main source of inspiration; A music producer.
