The ambitious Scot from Fife, Kirkcaldy is building on the momentum from every release and performance, whilst travelling up and down the UK to perform live with the most recent gigs being in Aberdeen supporting ‘Skylights’, an acoustic set with band members of ‘Gun’, a support slot at the Garage Glasgow with Mark Sharp & The Bicycle Thieves and a headline show in PJ Molloys.

Phil has built his way up starting at settings such as open mics, before recording his first tracks in Glasgow, and releasing his own material in August 2020. His first release ‘The Sesh’ set the bar high of what was to come from the Scot, and he has shown no signs of slowing down. The debut single from the talented artist even caught the attention of Shed Sevens Rick Witter who played the track on his radio show on radio Jorvik. Other releases ‘Chancer,’ ‘Let Go’ and ‘Bonnie Toun’ had support from Radio X, Amazing Radio, and was even mentioned by fellow Scot and Hollywood Actor Robert Carlyle who endorsed his single ‘Bonnie Toun’, whilst Phil was selected by the RGM: Revt Good Magazine and The Songbird HQ as a top artist of 2021 and was described as ‘One to watch.’

After hitting the Top 10 in the Official Scottish Singles Charts, and a Number One in the UK Alternative Chart, Phil has continued to place in the charts with each release, essentially with songs and narratives summarizing aspects of his life, who he is, where he is from and his journey in music so far. Phil says “With each release the response is getting bigger, and my following is growing. To be able to finally perform my original songs in iconic venues across the country has been amazing, and it was great to play my first headline at PJ Molloys in Dunfermline this Spring”.

After his single 'Bonnie Toun' was awarded BBC Radio Scotland's Afternoon show Track of the day, PG’s latest release ‘27’ led to a live acoustic session on BBC Scotland where he performed ‘Bonnie Toun’ and ‘27’ along with partaking in an interview chatting to presenter Janice Forsyth. He was awarded Resonate Scotland’s Artist Of The Week and This Feelings Track Of The Day and most notably was used on the highlights of the Everton and Crystal Palace game on BBC’s Match Of The Day 2.

With real-life relatable lyrics, and an ability to get the room moving, fans of Gerry Cinnamon, Jake Bugg, Paolo Nutini and The View are sure to rally behind Ciarletta. Whilst the melodies of ‘27’ will attract followers of The La’s and Aztec Camera.
