Phil Kullen discovered his love for rhythms and grooves from around the world as a teenager, after winning several school band competitions with his rock band.

This was followed by tours on major stages and festivals across Europe, with the pop band US5, and with Miss Platnum as the opening act for Die Fantastischen Vier and Peter Fox.
with Chilean superstars Chico Trujillo, and in the studio with Ohrbooten, Jazzanova, and Dota Kehr.
