With influences like Cliff Burton, Les Claypool, and Ryan Martini, Phillip has taken the idea of recreating a bassist's role in music and made it his own. Resident artist and dreamer, he keeps the band lighthearted enough to laugh at themselves. Nocturnal by nature, his perverted sense of humor pushes the boundaries of good taste, just as Doctura's music pushes the boundaries of metal. Blending funk, jazz, and afro-cuban poly-rhythms with metal, he's created a unique personality both on his instrument and on the stage.
