The Musicians

The dynamic and versatile Laurie Lowe on drums, is known for his work as part of the Preston, Glasgow & Lowe trio as well as a myriad of names in the UK jazz scene. Laurie’s presence in Project pH brings the full range of the compositions to life.

Project pH features the skills of London-based guitarist Nick Linnik, who provides a stunning display of highly compelling soloing as the newest member of the band

With extensive training in Classical, Jazz and contemporary music including composing and production skills, Hamish Balfour brings his prodigious talents to the band and superb soloing style to Project PH’s live performances.

Known for his extensive vocal range with a sound influenced by artists such as Prince, D’Angelo, Maxwell and Terence Trent D’arby. Paris Ruel’s strong performance style caught Yolanda’s attention at another London jam session and he has been a band member since the early days. https://www.instagram.com/parisruel/

North London vocalist Adeola Shyllon was invited to complete the Project pH line-up just before Lockdowns. She brings her warm powerful tones influenced by years of singing London-based Nigerian Yoruba music in church and having an eclectic career supporting various artists such as Emeli Sandé & Vanessa Haynes with her versatile voice. https://www.instagram.com/adeolashyllon/

Contact FUNKGURUS artist management for booking enquiries

We have a sister band called Project PH INSTRA-MENTALS This line up features the core PH musicians, Yolanda, Laurie, Nick & Hamish with the material composed firmly in the ‘Fusion’ genre.

PROJECT PH INSTRA-MENTALS

With both our vocal line-up and performing as the INSTRA-MENTALS PROJECT PH expresses music with tightly choreographed detail. The scope for interplay and connection is wide and allows the musicians the room to ‘breathe’. No two shows are ever the same. In Project pH there is to be found a mix of beautiful ballads, heavy funk-fusion instrumental tracks and modern RnB influenced soulful tunes.
