Phil Stoodley is a musician, producer, and traveler. His nomadic nature has opened up his world, allowing him to travel from stage to stage with a guitar in hand or just jumping borders with a map and a whim, a desire to fill pages with fresh creativity. This has driven him for the better part of his life.
Phil’s early path as a musician was forged touring across New Zealand both on stage in various bands and off stage working in music production. The early 2000s saw him touring the UK, Europe, the US, and Asia as a session player for one of New Zealand’s best-loved and multi-platinum selling bands The Feelers, which led to a number of successful musical ventures including Phil’s own rock band STOODS and the opening slot for international bands including Velvet Revolver, Simple Minds, and Neil Finn.
Over the years, Phil’s recognition grew with his debut single 'Waiting For Thursday', a self-produced album 'No Surprise' and his work as co-writer and producer for Hanna Grace's debut album ‘Concrete & Roses’ and single ‘In The Rain’, along with compositions for TV, film, and commercials. 2012 saw the EP release of the electronic project ‘Shaker Zulu - Funking Bell’, a collaboration project with New Zealand's piano/ keys extraordinaire Andy Keys.
In mid-2012 Phil traveled extensively around Southeast Asia, India, and Australia, performing, writing, and adding weight to his already heavy pack of experience, using his time in these exotic locations to film music videos.
Phil moved to Bali in 2015 where he quickly established his position as one of the top entertainers on the island, performing at top venues and collaborating with some of Bali’s most respected musicians.
Phil has since been busy with Indonesia based music projects, releasing singles and videos and forming a fresh line up for electronic project ‘Shaker Zulu.’ He also co-founded ‘The Bali Rooftop’, a start-up project that promotes Indonesian artists and touring artists performing in Bali. It is a non-profit collaborative effort with a simple aim to give all musicians an equal platform to promote their music against an incredible Bali backdrop.
Phil currently performs in Japan, Singapore, Melbourne, and his homeland New Zealand for numerous events and festivals and continues to solidify his stamp on the music scene internationally.
Stay tuned for a new EP from Phil drawing on his old school rock roots. Phil is on this week's episode to share his experiences, challenges, and hopes for the future.
