The recent success of Soul LinQ productions proves what Carlis Phillips (AKA CP), already knows: music is his birthright. Singing came as naturally as speaking to this man who was born and raised in South Bend, Indiana. Carlis is the son of Priscilla Phillips a jazz and funk vocalist who sang with Junior Walker and the All-stars.
Before Soul LinQs conception, he worked closely with Platinum-selling hip-hop group, Nappy Roots and the other artists on Bowling Green, Ky.s Deep Rooted Productions. A member of the neo-soul duo, Klientel, Carlis was able to hone his talents by singing and writing alongside the wonderful artists on the label. At Western Kentucky University, the artists had freedom to experiment musically without worrying about making mass-market hits. What developed was a sound that can be called original, if nothing else.
With Klientel, Carlis released Hoping it Pays (Deep Rooted 1999) and Daily Trade (Soul LinQ 2004). He co-wrote and arrangedmusic for Playas Digital Black in Memoirs of an R&B Thug (Elite Music 2004). His work appears on Neo-Soul United Vol. 3 (Glory Records, 2003) and Deep Rooted Compilations Vols. 1 &2 (Deep Rooted 1997& 1999). He also sang background and produced tracks on Soul LinQ artist Adrianne Archies debut, He That Hath an Ear, Let Him Hear (Soul LinQ 2005).
Inspired by artists like Donny Hathaway, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Kaan, Marvin Gaye, Luther Vandross, and the early 1980s sound in general, Carlis feels called to tear down the walls that separate musical genres. He is doing just that, having collaborated with rappers, R&B singers, and most recently, Gospel artists. To each genre, Carlis lends his musical ear, his creative lyrics, and the work ethic that has made Soul LinQ Productions much more than a local studio.
