Biography and Line-up choices:
Philosophy is a slick and sophisticated event band, made up of some of the UK's most sought after artists and musicians. Our elite musicians have not only trained at the highest level at Trinity Laban Conservatoire, the London College of Music and the Institute of Contemporary Music, but have working credits that include performing at venues as diverse as the O2 Arena, the Royal Albert Hall and Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, to name only a few.
With Philosophy you get incredible music, but also performance factor, high energy and audience interaction that will have your audience in awe and your dance floor heaving! Philosophy love what they do and that's obvious in every performance, which is why they have worked with greats including Boys II Men and the Glenn Miller Orchestra, toured with The Drifters on their 'Optimum Tour', and supported Passenger. Within Philosophy we have musicians signed to EMI Publishing, vocalists that have performed on BBC One, Sky and ITV, and a band that will give you a show that your guests will truly remember!
The Vocalists:
It isn't all about the famous names that Philosophy have performed alongside, we even have a celebrity in our midst. Yes you may recognise Sean not only from the X Factor live finals but The Voice UK too, and wow what a voice! Since taking on all those judges, Sean has gone from strength to strength in his own right, supporting the dance troupe Diversity on their UK Arena tour and performing for OK Magazine and numerous celebrity weddings.
Melanie has also appeared on UK TV, performing backing vocals for the R&B group Eternal on ITV, singing the National Anthem for England broadcast live on Sky Sports from various UK Arenas and singing on the Brian Conley show on ITV. Sean and Melanie are amazing fronting Philosophy, they are not just two incredible voices, but they have personality to boot, and you will see that their charisma will have the audience in the palm of their hands!
If you want to add more (don't we all!) vocalists, you can also book the incredible Nathan Watson or Chloe Swaby. Nathan has recently released an EP, had a sold out solo show at Cafe De Paris and is the voice of the new 'Haven Holidays' Ad. Chloe has toured with the Pink Floyd Show UK and performed with Tinchy Stryder and Chase & Status.
