Phil Drost was born and raised in Thunder Bay, ON. Phil was actively songwriting and performing in various groups, before receiving formal training in a small college out in Alberta. It was there that Phil began honing his craft and developing his sound (began in 2014 - first album released in 2016) Phil wrote and recorded his first three albums while living in Alberta, and then moved back to Thunder Bay, where he wrote and recorded three more albums (the most recent, 'In This World', with one of the tracks, 'I'm a Dog' resonating with many folks in NWO, and getting some significant radio play on CBC) Phil is currently playing regularly with his four piece band in Thunder Bay, with notable recent performances like the Thunder Bay Waterfront series, and the Red Rock Folk Fest. Phil continues to seek opportunities locally, and is actively writing for album number seven. Phil recorded his last album in Thunder Bay at Blueprints audio with producer/engineer Jean Paul De Roover, and is planning on working with Blueprints again for the next project. Phil also regularly plays at the country market in Thunder Bay, as well as special functions. Phil continues to write and seek out opportunities to collaborate with other artists, and perform the songs he has written. Phil hopes to expand the reach of his songs by taking the stage as much as possible, both locally and further in the province and beyond.
