Simon Phillips is by far one of the world's most renowned and respected drummers, whose style not only reflects his technical gift but also his distinct musical sensibility. Whether it is Rock, Fusion or Jazz, Simon applies the same precision and intensity to his drumming, which is never lacking in emotion and feel.
Simon’s professional musical career began at the early age of twelve, performing and recording with his father's, Sid Phillips, Dixieland band until he turned sixteen when he joined the London production of the musical “Jesus Christ Superstar”. Simon soon became one of London’s most celebrated session drummers. In his early twenties he was well on his way to having a musical career nothing short of brilliance. To date he has toured and recorded with many bands and artists, including: Mick Jagger, The Who, Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce, Peter Gabriel, Joe Satriani, Tears for Fears, Judas Priest, Roxy Music, Michael Schenker, Nik Kershaw, Al DiMeola, 801, Pete Townshend, Robert Palmer, Stanley Clarke, The Pretenders, Whitesnake and Dave Gilmore... to name but a few.
Expanding his career from drumming to writing, Simon recorded his first solo album “Protocol” in 1988, followed by a live album, “Force Majeure”, in 1992.
During that year he got a call to join Toto on their Kingdom Of Desire tour of the World and this was the start of a 21 year collaboration.
He recorded his third solo album, “Symbiosis”, in 1995 and “Another Lifetime” in 1997. He formed his own band and toured Europe and Japan. “Out of the Blue”, a live album, followed in 1998 and in 1999 another complete change of style took place and resulted in “Vantage Point”, which is a pure, straight ahead jazz album in collaboration with pianist Jeff Babko.
Yet another expansion to Simon’s musical career is producing and engineering, which he first started back in England with British composer Mike Oldfield, working on three albums with him. Aside from his solo projects, Simon also co-produced Toto’s “Tambu” in 1995, followed by “Mindfields” in 1998 and “Through the Looking Glass” in 2002.
Recording of Toto’s release “Falling In Between” commenced in February of 2005 at Simon’s own studio, Phantom Recordings. He was kept busy with engineering duties as well as playing and composing and sharing production duties with Steve Lukather and David Paich.
The release of this album in February 2006 was followed by the “Falling In Between” World tour playing 177 shows in 31 countries.
In 2009 he re-formed his solo band once more and toured Japan. He then partnered up with long time associate and friend, Philippe Saisse and formed PSP together with Pino Palladino.
In 2010 he joined Michael Schenker for a short tour of Japan – the first time playing with Michael since the recording of the Michael Schenker Group in 1980. Also that year he performed with Trilok Gurtu and the NDR Big Band for an amazing project resulting in the “21 Spices” CD – a fusion of Indian, World and Jazz music.
After a break of a couple of years Toto reformed and embarked on a tour of Europe, to be repeated in 2011, 2012 and 2013, including tours of Japan and the US.
He is also part of the Hiromi Trio Project with Anthony Jackson and Hiromi Uehara, recording three CDs, “Voice”, “Move” and “Alive” and touring throughout the World.
25 years after his first solo recording, Simon released “Protocol II” featuring Andy Timmons (Gtr), Steve Weingart (Keys) and Ernest Tibbs (Bass). The band, under the name of “Protocol II”, toured in Europe, the US and Japan.
At the beginning of 2014 Simon felt that, after 21 years, it was time to leave Toto. With the release of Protocol III and a tour of Europe and Japan, 2015 is going to be a busy year!
