After graduating from Napier University in 2006, Philip began his career as a composer for screen with a half a dozen short student films under his belt.

​

In 2014, Phil got two big breaks; Rise Of The Footsoldier 2, written and directed by Ricci Harnett, and CBBC's sci fi drama Eve, written and created by Emma Reeves and David Chickwe, which ran for three seasons and won Best Children's Drama at the RTS Awards in 2017. 

​

More recently, Phil scored the Lionsgate/New Light Films feature length thriller Matriarch and CBBC's revival of The Demon Headmaster, also written by Emma Reeves, produced by Peter Gallagher with Spencer Campbell as Exec.

​

Phil won Best Score at the Oxford International Short Film Festival 2020 for the music he composed for the short drama The Box and was also nominated for another Best score award for his latest short film Waiting For Time at the Idyllwild Film Festival 2021.

​

Upcoming projects include BBC Alba's kid's series Triuir Aig Tri and a new animation series Roots & Fruits for Cbeebies.

Philip composes from his home studio in Perth, Scotland.
