Philip Mancini was born and raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania. His musical journey began as a young teenager; his brother began to play bass guitar and Philip wanting to follow his older brother began to play guitar. It was not long before Philip wanted to branch out into the intriguing world of classical guitar. His talents were realized early and he began teaching his guitar skills at the age of 16.
In 1988, he began his formal training at Mansfield University under the tutelage of Gary Guth and Mark Stewart. At Mansfield, Philip majored in classical guitar with an emphasis in voice and performed in their acclaimed Concert Choir.
He and his wife, Kim, and daughter, Amber, own a music studio in Old Forge, Pennsylvania. Philip teaches music to students of all ages and abilities, and most instruments and voice. In 2000, Philip and his family came to know the Lord through a near tragedy. His study of the Word of God is complemented by Bob Jones University's Biblical Institute. He travels as a touring musician giving concerts, speaking, and evangelizing. He produces and records for Love The Arts! Inc.
Philip is a Samick endorsed artist and plays instruments designed by Greg Bennett for Samick, Dake Traphagen Classical Guitars and folk instruments built by Phil Clark.
Philip's musical style incorporates classical influences into a peaceful yet stimulating sound that will capture the soul and imagination.
If you can't find Philip on the road performing or in his studio, look to the sky, highway or nearest stream where you'll find him flying at 4000 feet, cruising on his motorcycle, or fly fishing for one of God's beautiful creations the Brook trout.
Jesus saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Matthew 4:19
