The Philharmonik’s musical beginning started in Cleveland, Ohio where he was born. He began taking classical piano at the age of 6 after he attended a concert with his mom. When he returned home from the concert, he began to play songs he heard note for note on the piano. He began lessons the next month with his first piano teacher who played for the Cleveland Orchestra. In his 2016 rap project, "Good People," The Philharmonik's beats, and content echoed an OutKast album with a Sacramento hometown perspective. The Philharmonik debuted his self-produced album “The Philharmonik” in 2018, under Soul Collective (Sacramento, CA) music label. The album includes feature songs “Neon Lights”, “Mama’s House”, “Pay me” and “Good Day” which offer a variety of styles, appealing to a wide audience base.
