Phill JD - Good Intentions

Phill's journey into country music began with pure passion, a devoted fan who became a performer through his deep love for the genre. From an early age, Phill JD was the DJ for his grandfather's fishing trips, spun country classics, sang in church choirs, and wrote poetry that would later evolve into songs with international appeal. His love for country music has always been in his blood, and it continues to drive him forward. After spending years writing songs and performing across the Eastern States of Australia, Phill took a step back to focus on family life.

However, the call of the stage brought him back in 2018, and his career has been steadily rising ever since. In 2020, he recorded his debut EP produced by Simon Johnson at Hillbilly Hut Studio and released his first single “Praying For Rain.” The song was a hit, gaining international airplay on both local and online radio, and it held a spot on the Airplay Express International Country Chart Top 40 for an impressive 34 weeks, even reaching No. 1. Phill JD has also had success with a songwriting collaboration recording a duet titled "A Dozen Letters" with Sandy Louise in 2022.

2023 saw the release of "Dead Man's Boots" which really found some momentum both upon radio and online internationally.

In 2024, Phill has continued to make waves with the release of two new singles, “Shaking Breaking Legs” and “The Greatest Game of All.” These songs have been gaining radio support both internationally and at home in Australia. "The Greatest Game of All," produced by country legend Bill Chambers, is a rousing anthem Phill wrote as a tribute to rugby league and the game of life itself. Meanwhile, "Shaking Breaking Legs," which tells the story of Phill's first public performance and fans can be excited with its upcoming Starchaserz Nashville dance remix release produced by multi-Billboard award winning and Grammy nominated Sam Michaels (Klubjumpers) - a thrilling fusion of country and dance sounds that’s set to drop worldwide within October 2024.

Phill's talent has earned him spots at major events like the Bluewater Country Music Festival, multiple finalist positions in the Tamworth Songwriters Association Awards, Grand finalist spot at FretFest in the 2020 Tamworth Country Music Festival which gave him the opportunity to shine at both the TCMF FanZone and Family stages. As he continues to balance his love of music with family life, Phill’s goal is to connect with audiences all over Australia, sharing his music with the heart and authenticity that has always been at the core of his journey.
