My Story
Artist Bio — Philip Seibel
Philip Seibel is an online musician, songwriter, and storyteller whose work blends theatrical intensity, emotional honesty, and a fearless commitment to authenticity. As a solo performer, he creates immersive shows that combine visual effects, atmospheric playback, and raw vocal power, turning every stage into a cinematic experience.
Philip’s proven vocal range spans from B1 to F5, a range exceptionally rare among male vocalists. It bridges deep baritone resonance with commanding high-tenor clarity—an uncommon combination that gives him striking dramatic versatility. On occasion, he extends even further, having reached C6 in controlled studio settings, a feat only a tiny fraction of singers can achieve without digital manipulation. His influences include theatrical opera, rock, musicals, metal, psychobilly, pop, EDM, and Americana, shaping a style that thrives on bold expression and emotional storytelling.
Beyond music, Philip is the author of the fictional autobiographical works The Monsters That Kiss You Goodnight and The Monsters That Walk With Me. These books follow an abused child who transforms into an angel of retribution—a vigilante delivering justice to abusers, rapists, and predators who hide behind society’s blind spots. His writing combines psychological depth with mythic overtones, confronting trauma, vengeance, and transformation with unflinching clarity.
Driven by a history marked by hardship and survival, Philip channels lived experience into every creative medium. He openly challenges the artificial perfection dominating today’s music culture—calling out overproduction, autotune dependency, and trends that reward shortcuts over talent. His work defends real musicianship, earned skill, and the raw human truth behind art.
Philip is currently shaping Rock the Attic, an immersive solo show using night-sky visual effects to merge performance, storytelling, and atmosphere into a haunting, emotionally charged spectacle.
Whether performing, writing, or developing new concepts, Philip Seibel creates with conviction, theatrical fire, and the belief that true art demands vulnerability, soul, and the courage to confront the monsters—both personal and societal—head on.
I refuse to work with anyone who wants me to hide my story. The horrors of the Children of God are mine to speak, and I will not stay silent.
I was fifteen when I first realized music could save me. Sitting by the river in Solothurn, a man’s voice reached me: “Little black sheep don’t cry, keep your faith, and hold your head high…” I didn’t know him. I barely knew anything about life. But I asked if I could try his guitar. He listened. He liked my voice. And that afternoon, we busked together in the old town. I didn’t own an instrument, so we shared his guitar, taking turns. We earned what felt like a small fortune—enough to buy a pair of bongos, not yet a second guitar. And just like that, I became his percussionist.
By nightfall, I understood something essential: I had found my calling. What did I have to lose? Certainly not my violent, alcoholic stepfather. Traveling with a man twenty-four years my senior made perfect sense to me then. Robert treated me with respect. He gave me dignity. He is still my friend today.
Months later, I saved enough to buy my own guitar and began making a living from music. Robert returned to Antwerp, and I set out to live and learn on my own, carrying the lessons of freedom, trust, and music with me.
Thirty years on… across Europe, the story continues.
