FreedomSpeaks

Music – New Orleans

Consisting of composer, songwriter, and musical director Samuel Phillips, and vocalist, songwriter Charles Phipps (Ezekiel Charles), the two came together via a chance meeting at a Thanksgiving gathering in 2007. Complete strangers became great friends centered around their love for music. A month later, the two met one evening with no expectations, and within 15 minutes, their first song “American Dreams” was birthed. Over the course of three years, Charles and Samuel worked consistently to develop a sound undeniable to their integrity as individual artists to develop their vision as a collective. The dreams for FreedomSpeaks started coming to reality for the duo during their senior semester at Loyola University New Orleans. Here, in the on campus studio, their first records birthed were produced, engineered and recorded in all aspects entirely by the duo via a studio recording independent study acquired by Charles. New music is being consistently developed as they prepare to re-enter in the studio to record their first album. Stay tuned. FreedomSpeaks is coming...
