As a versatile artist whose style encompasses a wide range of musical genres, Philip Fortenberry is a performer with an equally expansive career. A native of Columbia, Miss., Fortenberry began playing the piano at the age of 4 and by 7 was the accompanist for his church. He performed his first solo concert when he was 12, while continuing his work as a church pianist and organist throughout high school and college. When he left the south and moved to New York City, he continued his piano studies as a private student of Myoko Lotto at The Juilliard School.

Fortenberry holds a master of music degree in classical piano performance from New Jersey City University and was an adjunct faculty member in the Steinhardt School of Education at New York University. He was a 2004 recipient of a Distinguished Service Award from William Carey University in Hattiesburg, Miss.
