Philip Scorgie - BIOGRAPHY

Composer, Arranger, Producer, Live Music Events, Bass Guitar

Originally from New Zealand, I came to Australia in the late 70’s and have been working as a musician and producer in the industry for past 30 years.
Having worked and performed with various well-known artists through out this time, I furthered my Music education at the Sydney NSW Conservatoire learning Composition, Arranging and Harmony.
Through out the 70’, 80’s and 90’s, I worked extensively in the studio environment playing on countless projects which included; (Film Scores, Jingles, Television and Albums).
In 1982 I toured the East, performing concerts in - Malaysia, Borneo, Thailand, Burma and Indonesia for Foreign Affairs Dept with Australian Jazz Saxophone player Eroll Buddle.
In 1985 I started at TCN 9 Television on the Mike Walsh Night time Show, which led to a 10x Year association with them including the Midday Show with Ray Martin.
In 1988 I received the Bicentennial Music Award for my contribution to the Music Industry.
In the late 80’s to mid 90’s, I was involved in the corporate arena with my own 12 piece band called “The Right Stuff”, this led on not only to performing with it, but to organizing and producing some of these large events. In 1998 I produced the NCR Gala show in Singapore, which included a 14x piece band, 16x Dancers and 5x performing artists.

I have also Composed and Produced music for Film Production and Television sound tracks to date.
