ABOUT KASEY PHILLIPS:
Son of Trinidad and to legendary Caribbean producer, Kenny Phillips, Kasey Phillips spent his formative years in the studio, developing his craft early, producing his first track at just ten years old.
Kasey quickly built a name for himself in his home country of Trinidad, becoming an integral part of the music community there, before landing an internship in Los Angeles, California that would expand his musical reach and ultimate vision. In Los Angeles, the possibilities for realizing his passion to bring soca and Caribbean music to the world were clarified, and he was able to return home to launch and build his company, Precision Productions, into the most sought after production company in the nation. As the most prominent music producer in Trinidad, Phillips set his sights on penetrating the U.S. market, and it wouldn’t be long before his work as a producer on Ciara and Chris Brown’s latest single “How We Roll” was sailing up the charts and reaching virality on social platforms. His portfolio includes work with diamond-selling artist Shaggy, R&B sensation Carl Thomas, Australian star vocalist Jessica Mauboy, alongside those who rule the Caribbean music charts, including Machel Montano, Bunji Garlin, Kevin Lyttle, Rupee, and Kes the Band. Most recently, Kasey worked on BLXCKIE’s debut EP, See You Soon, for Def Jam Records, handling all mixing, mastering, and Atmos elements of the project.
His unparalleled work ethic, impactful portfolio of work, and infinite potential for further excellence led to his signing with Sony Music Publishing, the world’s number one music publisher. Honored across the music industry for his talent, Phillips has received the Soul Train Music Award for Best International Performance, the EY Entrepreneur of the Year Award, and serves his music community at large as the Chairman of the Grammy Screening Committee for Global Music. Kasey is currently based in Los Angeles where he continues to lead Precision Productions into a bright future of global dominance.
