Hi my name's Fil and I do everything 'Wings of Pegasus'. I write, record, produce, film, edit and anything else required to get my music out into the world. I have been playing live for 20 years, before live streaming was common place, I live streamed a gig to 26 countries at the same time. I've played at Wembley Arena and The O2 in the UK and appeared in front of 10 million people on terrestrial tv. A highlight for me personally was when Neal Schon from Journey messaged me to offer his support, I'm very lucky that although I'm focused on being an independent musician I have made friends with many musicians I have a lot of respect for.
I have been featured by Classic Rock Magazine, as well as having radio airplay all over Europe and the USA. Feel free to check out my original album entitled 'Persistence', available on this site in the store section or on iTunes and Amazon. More recently I have set up a 'Patreon' account which allows fans of my music to support it's production and release. After all it doesn't matter how many followers you have, at some point you'll need to find financial support for your art somewhere! I have been very lucky in this respect with my amazing fans.
I've been playing guitar for 25 years, teaching professionally for over 15 years, and am currently endorsed by Fender. I've also more recently covered songs on YouTube, I've made over 30 of those so far. On my cover videos I don't use backing tracks, I make the songs from the ground up playing and singing everything myself.
