PHIL FIELD (b. Philip Hunter Field) began studying piano at age 7 and by age 10 had made his Carnegie Hall debut. He co-wrote his first gold record, "Are You Single?" for Aurra (RCA/Salsoul) while he was at Oberlin Conservatory. A key member of the R&B/Funk group Mtume, he co-wrote songs for the hit albums, "Juicy Fruit" and "You, Me And He." He co-wrote and produced Roy Ayers' "Hot," (it’s the intro to Michael Jackson's uncut video of "The Way You Make Me Feel") and he co-wrote Toni Braxton's multi-platinum hit "How Many Ways."

Phil's television and film credits include HBO's "Divorce," Universal TV's "New York Undercover" and feature films "Native Son," "Jason's Lyric" and "Panther." His songs, and his sound, have been sampled often-- on hits featuring The Notorious B.I.G., Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez, Jay-Z and many others. His collaborations include a wide range of artists – Gwen Guthrie, Mavis Staples, The Bar-Kays, Nancy Wilson, Gerald LeVert—and encompass many genres, from Broadway's James Naughton to R&B/Hip Hop artist Mary J. Blige.

A native of East Orange, NJ, Phil writes and produces with his wife, , Dee Jackson Field.  Their production company, Jackson Field Music, released the EP "#deejacksonfieldproject." Songs from their new album will be available in  2020.
