Phillip celebrated his 23rd birthday in Brazil on September 20th, and we had prepared a special surprise for him. A few minutes before he hit the ‘Rock in Rio’ stage, the RIR team and I entered backstage with a cake and sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to him.

I’d like to thank the RIR staff that helped make this happen. I’m sure Phillip loved the surprise.
After that, they brought me to watch Phillip’s show from a very special place on the stage, it was unforgettable.
Check out the video and photos below.

Phillip Phillips at Rock in Rio 2013

phillipphillips-southamerica

Phillip Phillips performed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the Rock in Rio festival on September 21, 2013. He charmed the crowd with his distinctive voice, passion, energy, and remarkable musicianship.

This was Phillips’ first time visiting Brazil, and he got to perform on the same stage as Bruce Springsteen and John Mayer that night. He is currently touring with Mayer for the “Born and Raised” tour.

He began the show with “Get Up, Get Down” and continued with the songs “Man on the Moon”, “Drive Me” and “Gone Gone Gone”, all off his album ‘The World From the Side of the Moon’ which were very well received by the crowd, with lots of applause and fans singing along. During as well as between songs, he showed that he is an amazing instrumentalist on his guitar, as well as showcasing his talented band members throughout the set.

There were two moments of the night that received the greatest response from the crowd. The first was when he performed ‘Thriller’, which brought a flashback to them of him performing it during his American Idol audition. He ended his set with the grand finale of ‘Home’, his most successful single to date. The crowd chanted the anthem of ‘Home’ loud and clear, closing his performance with great positive energy.

Check out performances from his hour long set below!

‘Home’ catapulted Phillip Phillips to the top of the charts

ven16_ja_27sep_phillips

 

Phillip Phillips keeps moving forward.

 Nearly one year after his debut album, “The World From the Side of the Moon,” was released, it’s gone platinum.

It also has spawned hits – “Home” and “Gone, Gone, Gone,” and his current single “Where We Came From” is rising on the charts.

Phillips burst onto the music scene through “American Idol,” where he won season 11. Since then, he’s been on tour nonstop and he was able to snag the opening slot on John Mayer’s return to touring.

“It’s been a blessing and I don’t want it to slow down,” he says during a recent interview. “All of this has been something I’ve worked at since I was young.”

Phillips was raised in Leesburg, Ga., and took up guitar at the age of 14. He was inspired by his now brother-in-law Benjamin Neil and that began Phillips’ love affair with the guitar.

But it wasn’t until a few years later that Phillips formed his first band with his sister and brother-in-law and became a singer.

“I used to always keep my singing to myself and never let anyone hear me, but then my sister and brother-in-law caught me one night and told me I had to start singing in the band,” he says. “We played at a church that Sunday and the room was packed and I thought I was going to pass out, but I did it.”

After having a year of constant touring under his belt for the album, Phillips says the entire collection of songs has grown on him in a different way.

“The album sort of takes you through all these different emotions. There are feel-good songs and love songs but also songs that get a little darker,” he says. “The most important thing to me is making music that comes from my heart and really connects with people on a gut level.”

For the past year, he’s been able to play his own songs for live audiences – both as a headliner and as an opener.

He says it was a little bit terrifying to share his songs.

“We’re at the point where the crowd’s singing along – even to the ones that aren’t the singles – which is amazing to see,” he says. “We just go out there and jam out and try to make it different and exciting, instead of playing the songs exactly how they sound on the album. It’s all about real musicians playing real music that we’re passionate about and just having a good time, and hopefully we’re giving the crowd a good time, too.”

Phillip Phillips at Arena Anhembi in Sao Paulo – Brazil 9/19/2013

phillipphillips-southamerica

Phillip stepped into South America with its first concert in Argentina, then he came to Brazil to perform at Arena Anhembi in Sao Paulo. It was a success, drawing over 35,000 fans.

Phillip sang 7 songs in addition to some covers, the show lasted about 45 minutes.
Though performing for the first time in Brazil, he was surprised to see that the Brazilians could sing all his songs.

He celebrated his birthday in Brazil (9/20/2013), then the Brazilian fans had a surprise for him, they sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to Phill after his concert. I’m pretty sure he loved that surprise.

pamella-phillipThis concert was very special for many reasons, but most importantly it was the first time I would meet him after a long time waiting.
As you know, I got this site since Phillip was on American Idol, and I never had the chance to meet him, but all my hard work paid off, I finally met him.
I met him the night he arrived in Brazil (9/18), he recognized me, looked at me and said, ‘Are you Pam?’ and I said: ‘Yeah Phillip! Finally!’ then he held me tight.
At that moment I was sure that all my work was worth it. I want to thank him for being so wonderful to me. Also want to thank Hannah and Merrick. Thanks for everything.
Philatics you were also amazing to me, thank you for supporting me and making me believe, thank you for visiting the site and trusting in my work.

In May I started a project called ‘fanbook’ (more info), a book with pictures and messages to Phillip. There were messages from fans around the world and I promised the fans that I would deliver this book to him, and yes, I gave it to him personally, he loved it. #success

Thank you Philatics! 

Me and Phillip. He’s holding the fanbook.
