Phil Anderson is a musician, videographer, editor, producer, and educator. He grew up in Akron Ohio and received a Bachelor of Music in jazz piano at the University of Akron, where he found a passion for music education and quickly filled his schedule with private music lessons. After 10 years of teaching in-person, Phil moved his efforts into video production and online distribution to try and reach more students. This led to the formation of HDpiano, where Phil led production efforts before departing for a senior role at Quincy Jones’ piano learning app Playground Sessions where he currently works from his remote studio in Downtown Akron (the AVclub), but is also active in the local and regional scene as a producer and creative consultant, helping musicians brand-build and boost online production value.
