Beautiful Surprise by Philip
Philip Scantlebury
When Philip Scantlebury hits the stage the last thing one would expect to hear is the raw, edgy alternative rock sound he has
become best known for. With locks like a lion’s mane cascading down his back, and smooth chocolate skin stretched over well
defined muscles this walking anomaly has carved a niche for himself in a musical genre not typically known for its West Indian
roots. He is arguably among the best alternative vocalists in Barbados whose raw vocal talent began to bloom over a decade
ago when he began performing with the local RnB acapella group Suave. Here is where the gradual roll out of his vocal range
and versatility began.
