My name is Jesse Phillips and I make a living doing music . I currently live near Nashville, TN with my beautiful wife, our 1 year old son and a Roku TV. When I’m not making music, I love to grill and watch the Seahawks during football season. But these aren’t really the things you’re probably looking to find out from my website, so here are some things to check out:

Most of my career has been playing guitar or bass for artists. I love playing shows and getting into the studio with many different people. I’ve been able to play shows and conferences with Chris McClarney, Jon Reddick, Tasha Layton, Mack Brock, and more.

I don’t tour a ton anymore, but I still do a lot of session work, so if you need a producer or a musician, let’s work on some music together! Also here’s a Spotify Playlist of songs I’ve produced!

In late 2022 I started a record label. My hope is not to make money or make anyone famous, but to come alongside artists that are hearing from God and then helping them write, record, and release music. I do writing retreats for it on occasion too. If you wanna learn more about it you can listen to the Hill City Recording Podcast or go to the Hill City Recording portion of this site! As of 2024, Hill City Recording partnered with Real Fun Records (Chris McClarney) to create and release more fun music!

One of the more recent things I’ve started doing is consulting with churches across the U.S. to help with their worship programs. I’ve been helping various ministries set up songwriting programs, record their original music, and even plug them in with my connections here in Nashville. You can fill out this form if you’re interested in this for your church!

I also co-founded an online community called Worship Sound Co that is a resource for worship musicians to find out more about gear, but also talk about issues in the worship musician community. I’ve slacked off a great deal on this, so maybe I should take you reading this as a sign I need to get back on it! We’ve got a podcast and have some gear demos on YouTube.

Oh, and shoutout to Italia Leather Straps for making some awesome straps and sending them my way. And while we’re at it… shoutout to Alclair for making some killer in-ears and being fantastic people. (If you’re a company and you have any gear you want me to try out hit me up!)

That’s about all I’ve got for now… take care!
