One listen to the impassioned, fiery sounds that emanate from Pheroze’s core and it’s quickly evident that there are no trappings with the music he creates. Lush songwriting and a soaring voice pull together in a seamless vision - that is an ethereal journey unto itself.
With over ten years under his belt as a professional musician and songwriter, Pheroze has taken the production helm on his debut solo album, Driftwood. With the exception of drums, Pheroze played all instruments on the record, including exploring his Indo/Persian roots by incorporating the esraj, sarod, and gopichand. Mixing was done under the masterful ear of Nick Cohen (Redman, Ill Nino, Brian McKnight, 40 Below Summer). The end result is an album born of cross-style agility and passionately theatrical ebb and flow.
Born in London, England to Zoroastrian parents, Pheroze’s childhood was divided between the strict rigidity of Saudi Arabia where his parents worked and the abundant sights, smells, and sounds of India where his grandparents lived. The various cultural immersions lend a naturally distinctive worldly inflection to his voice. “I grew up with the whole Bollywood scene at the same time as my mother was blasting Prince, Black Sabbath, and Queen in the house. Freddie Mercury was a fellow Zoroastrian, so she was hell-bent on him being part of my upbringing”.
As a twelve-year old in fundamentalist Saudi Arabia, Pheroze took some huge risks to embrace his musical heritage.
