Philip Kohnen was born in Fairfax, VA on March 5th, 1982. He moved with his mother, two sisters and brother to Atlanta, GA, where Philip was raised. When Philip was 16 years old, he came home from school one day to find a guitar in his bedroom, which he shared with his brother. Since that day, Philip has rarely put the guitar down. He taught himself how to play guitar by experimentation. In fact, most of Philip's knowledge of music was learned "on the bandstand." When Philip was in college at The University of Georgia, he played in multiple bands, including AKA Rude, Dian Nao, and Boone Dog Trio. He has toured with a nationally recognized Sublime cover band called "Wrong Way: The Music of Sublime." Philip began taking lessons with Rob McMaken of the world/folk duo Dromedary, and that is when his musicianship was taken to the next level. Philip studied Cuban music, Klezmer, and other world music with Rob McMaken. Eventually, Philip contacted a percussionist whom he admires greatly named Roberto Rodriguez. He traveled to Manhattan to study Cuban rhythm with Rodriguez in December of 2005. While in New York, Philip also studied with Tresero/Guitarist Ben Lapidus of Brooklyn. Since his travels to New York, Philip has been actively writing and recording new music in the Salsa style. Philip strongly believes that Hispanic culture as a whole, and specifically Cuban culture, is going to play a pivotal role in the transformation of American popular music in the 21st century.

So, I had a very interesting day today and thought I would tell you about it. 1ST- Chrissy scared me half to death this afternoon. I was sitting at the computer and Chris all of a sudden walks in front of me with her arms outstreched. I was like WTF!? So, I started calling her name and she just kept walking to the bathroom. I followed her cause I thought she was sleepwalking. She is sitting on the toilet and she has her head at her ankles. I kept calling her name and patting her head and all of a sudden she falls head first to the ground. Pants still down her ankles. I start freaking out calling her name and shaking her. Then I start to leave to call Martin and she starts laughing. Bitch ass! Then later today Chris and I go into the car to go to Target- She looks up as we are getting into the car and she's like OMG Cat there's a guy taking a shit on the ground behind the abandoned pool hall. This is my life? WTF Mate!?
