Brightening lives
through music
Known for his signature style red guitar, catchy tunes, and heartfelt lyrics, Phil writes songs that help children learn something about the world around them.
Many of his songs have familiar themes like friendship and nature. Through his music, he encourages children to live their lives in an imaginative way.
Baker involves children throughout his show. Many of the songs he uses include actions for the listener to follow, creating a welcoming performance environment that encourages individual expression and group engagement.
When composing, Baker incorporates rich chords, vibrant rhythms, singable melodies, and diverse genres such as Brazilian samba and World folk. Baker hopes to inspire the next generation of musicians and storytellers; the future artisans of the world.
"There's joy in creating something new. It's important to encourage children to use their sense of play and wonder," Baker says.
Through his love for guitar, Phil has created a musical world for children; a life in music for kids.
