“I’m still a ‘church boy’ despite doing secular music” – Pheelz

Talented record producer, singer and songwriter, Philip Kayode Moses popularly known as Pheelz has said he still sees himself as a “church boy” despite indulgence in secular music.

The ‘Finesse’ crooner, who grew up singing and playing keyboard, alongside other musical instruments in the church lead by his father, who is a pastor in Lagos, said he always knew he would switch from producer to artist.

Speaking about his journey as a creative, the 29-year-old said,

“That journey is long, bro. I feel like sometime in my life, I would probably make movie out of all these stories because it’s inspirational to me and I think it can be inspirational to a lot of other people.

“Grinding from Coded Tunez down to running YBNL; making music with Olamide, Fireboy, Adekunle Gold, Lil Kesh, and other artists outside the label… First of all, I wouldn’t change anything for anything because the journey has been beautiful both the ups and the downs.

“But I still see myself as that same kid from my church. That same 10-year-old playing the keys and my dad is doing the sermons. I still see myself as that kid in the choir because it’s still the same passion that drives me and has been driving me all these years.”
