Throughout his music journey Phill has performed and worked with many local legends in the Australian music industry and as Support Act to international artists Andy Gibb, Paul Stookey (Peter, Paul & Mary) and Ralph McTell (Streets of London).

Phills' music is essentially drawn from the blues and blues derivatives with songs of various music styles he has played, performed and been influenced by throughout his career. ie: Blues, Blues Rock, Rhythm & Blues and contemporary acoustic music styles.

His latest CD offering Phill Raymond - Lovin' Every Day of These Blues leans toward 50's style blues, a couple of flying boogies and a hint of Bossa Nova ballad.
