Early life

edit

Phillip Phillips was born in Albany, Georgia,[7] to Sheryl (Jacks) and Phillip LaDon "Donnie" Phillips, Sr. He moved with his family to Leesburg, Georgia when he was 12.[8][9][10] He has two older sisters, LaDonna, the eldest, and Lacey.[11] Phillips grew up in Sasser and Leesburg, and attended Lee County High School.[12][13][14] He graduated from Albany Technical College with a major in Industrial Systems Technology, but missed the graduation ceremony due to his obligations to American Idol.[15] Prior to appearing on American Idol, he worked at his family's pawn shop.[16]

Phillips started playing music, particularly the guitar,[17] when he was 14. He was mentored by his long-time friend and brother-in-law, Benjamin Neil, whom he credits for piquing his interest in music.[18] In 2009, he formed the Phillip Phillips Band with Neil and another brother-in-law, Todd Urick, and performed in various local venues and events.[19] He won a local singing competition, "Albany Star," in 2010.[20]

Phillips' favorite singer is Jonny Lang. Other favorites include John Butler, Dave Matthews, and Damien Rice.[21] He also enjoyed Mumford & Sons and Tool.[18] He grew up listening mainly to '60s and '70s music such as Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin;[17] "Then as I got older I found Damien Rice and Dave Matthews and John Butler, which is what really set it off for me in terms of finding my voice as a musician."[17] He has described his music as "jazz and rock alternative sound."[22]

Prior to trying out for American Idol, Phillips also auditioned on the second season of America's Got Talent.[23]

Overview

edit

Phillips auditioned in Savannah, Georgia.[24] He sang "Superstition" by Stevie Wonder.[24][25] One of the show's executive producers, Megan Michaels-Wolflick, stated "I remember the day in Savannah in 2011 when Phillip Phillips walked in the room and I thought, "This guy is going to win this season."[26] As he walked in front of American Idol judges for his initial audition, Steven Tyler whispered to Jennifer Lopez, "I got a funny feeling about this."[27] The judges asked him to perform a second song with his guitar, and he performed Michael Jackson's "Thriller."[24][25] He advanced to the Hollywood rounds,[24] and later to the Las Vegas round.[28]

On February 23, 2012, Phillips was chosen as one of the Top 25 semi-finalists,[29] and was voted into the Top 13.[14][30]

His performance style on the show has been compared to Dave Matthews, and he covered one of his songs, "The Stone," in the competition.[31] When asked about Phillips' imitation of his style, Dave Matthews said: "More power to him, I don't mind," and added "He should kick my ass, [then] maybe I can retire and he can take over my band."[32] Mentor Stevie Nicks said Phillips would have been good enough to join Fleetwood Mac back in 1975, after his performance of Jonny Lang's "Still Rainin," for which he received a standing ovation from the judges. [33]

After the Top 13 performance night, Phillips was taken to a doctor for possible kidney stones.[34][35] He had eight procedures while he was performing on Idol, and considered quitting the show due to the pain.[36][37]

For his Top 3 performance, Phillips sang Bob Seger's "We've Got Tonight." For Top 4, he did a cover of Damien Rice's "Volcano" - which has been heralded as one of the best American Idol performances of all time.[38] As the sole contestant who was never in jeopardy of elimination in any week of the competition, Phillips became the winner on the finale against Jessica Sanchez after a record-breaking 132 million votes were cast.[39][40] His coronation song, "Home," was released after his performance, and had the biggest digital sales week for any Idol winner's coronation song.[41][42]

Phillips said, "It was crazy and it changed my life completely. I didn't know what to expect, I just loved playing music."[27] "It never seemed like a competition. I always made sure I was having fun and the band was having a good time."[43]
