Philip Riley has been releasing his music with record companies such as Naxos/White Cloud since 1994 when Grammy winner Jon Mark invited him to join the label. A successful and well-received string of albums followed as well as Indie releases, collaborations and compilations with other labels across the world.
NEW ALBUM OUT NOW
Moving focus from his successful Celtic/World music releases, the new adult contemporary indie album "FIVE DOLLAR ROCKETS...the Songs of Phil Riley" finally features the previously unreleased songs crafted during & after the White Cloud years.
"This is the bit where I finally get to put out something purely for myself. In my career I’ve been many things for many people; producer, arranger, engineer, and recording artist on several international labels in many musical genres. At the heart of me though, it’s probably Phil the song-writer that gives me the most pleasure. So, here on this brand new release are 14 little rockets to get the party started."
