Philip Foxman – Musician, Songwriter, Composer, and Music Producer

Philip Foxman is an Australian-born musician, songwriter, composer, and music producer known for his dynamic career spanning rock, pop, and alternative music scenes across Sydney, London, and New York City.

Foxman began his musical journey in Sydney, composing the score for the ABC TV documentary “Stirring” and performing as a bassist and songwriter for several local bands. He later joined Supernaut, members Gary Twinn, Joe Burnham, Chris Burnham, Philip Foxman and Noel Kennedy, a chart-topping Australian band best known for their hit single “I Like It Both Ways.” Supernaut became a staple on Australia’s iconic TV show Countdown, earned a Gold-certified album, and toured extensively nationwide.

After his success in Australia, Foxman relocated to London, where he formed Illustrated Man, a band featuring members from Japan, Gary Numan, Gang of Four, and The Models. Signed to Capitol/EMI Records, the group achieved international recognition with their Top 20 US dance-rock hit “Head Over Heels,” whose music video received heavy rotation on MTV.

Foxman’s next chapter unfolded in New York City, where he immersed himself in the city’s vibrant indie and alternative music scene. He performed at legendary venues such as CBGB’s, The Ritz, Bowery Ballroom, and Mercury Lounge, while composing scores for film and television, collaborating with emerging artists, and writing his own original musical. His band Philip Foxman and Prime 8 released the acclaimed album “West 4th and Charles,” followed by his solo album “Up Antenna,” both highlighting his versatility and artistic evolution.

Foxman’s songs have been featured on MTV shows, HBO specials, the international hit TV series “Neighbours,” and in various independent films and TV soundtracks. He also composed the score, co-wrote lyrics, and produced the album for the Off-Broadway musical “Atomic.”

Most recently, Foxman released “Reaching for Air” with the Australian alt-rock band Distant Drum, as well as four solo singles — “So Far Away,” “Words Tear Us Apart,” “All Goes Crazy,” and “Real Life.” All are available on major music streaming platforms.
