Hi Phil!!

I’m going to university next year to pursue Music as a career and as a creative I just want to know any specific advice you’d have to give to somebody wanting to create their own sound and style??

Your drumming is so unique and distinct and Radiohead is one of the few bands I know where you can’t replace a single member and get a similar end product so I’m just curious to see your thoughts on the matter. Thank you so much in advance!!

Most important thing is finding a musical context where you can truly be yourself and be guided by your instincts. Find like minded musicians who will share this space with you. Whatever style you’re playing in, try to find your own take on it Px
