Thee Phantom and the Illharmonic Orchestra

Thee Phantom combines the energy and passion of hip-hop with the beautiful, sweeping sounds of live orchestration. When was the last time you witnessed strings, horns, woodwinds, and a pianist at a Hip-Hop concert? Add to that a soul songstress, a crowd-controlling DJ, and a fire-breathing MC and that is still but a fraction of what you´ll get when you catch Thee Phantom & The Illharmonic Orchestra in action. Thee Phantom combines the raw energy and passion of Hip-Hop with the beautiful, sweeping melodies of live orchestration. Phantom wrote his first rhyme at the age of 8 and made his first beat by mixing the instrumental from the Beastie Boys´ Paul Revere with Beethoven´s Fifth Symphony at age 12. Ironic considering that the movement of Beethoven´s 5th is entitled, “Destiny”. Little did he know, Phantom´s combination of B-Boy meets Beethoven would later open up a world of opportunities for him.
