About:
Jonah Phillips is a London-based drummer, bandleader and arranger. With a background in fine art and film, Jonah is a recent graduate of the Guildhall School of Music & Drama. His work is influenced by the jazz tradition, fused with his interest in alternative songwriting, indie, post-punk, folk and electronica.
