Born in Southern California, my journey to the stage started in Marching Band and Orchestra, where timing and pitch were key to a clean performance, as a soloist I poured myself into my music, the warm glow of the lights on stage fulfilling my heart as I gave myself to the music for the audience to hear.

At UC Riverside I studied English and Biology while cultivating a YouTube Channel and my voice performances under the screen name "philsterman10" while also having a music radio show on KTST.fm in Anaheim through the American Radio Company based in Los Angeles.

Having a brother with autism, my family worked together to properly teach him the importance and meaning of subtext and intention which was then cultivated, honed and mastered within me at Bang Zoom Studios with Tony Oliver, Julie Kliewer and Dorah Fine using the Meisner Technique. Group reads, partner reads, monologues: it was these practical  classes that reignited my passion and even served useful in helping teach other students as a student instructor and aide at Leroy Haynes Special Needs school. 

Dubbed "The Male Ingénue" by voice actor, Mick Wingert, I hold great pride in my voice specialize in protagonist and love interests: from your loyal storybook prince to your best friend, I dedicate myself to a powerful read and am in my training I have learned to adjust to the clients needs and give you a powerful and passionate read to enhance your projects!  Lets this musician use his voice to give you a different  kind of music you may be amazed to hear!
