Phillip Ingram

I was born in 1958 and raised in Akron, Ohio. I come from a musical family. There are 6 children who all sing and play an instrument but only 2 of us decided to do music for a living, and that is my brother James & myself.

In December of 1976 the band SWITCH was formed. This consisted of Greg Williams, Jody Sims, Bobby DeBarge, Tommy DeBarge, Eddie Fluellen, and myself, Phillip Ingram. SWITCH was signed to Motown Records in May/1977 and went on to record 5 albums for the Label. Our 1st two albums went GOLD with such hits as "They'll Never Be", "I Wanna Be Closer", "Best Beat In Town", "Love Over & Over", and "I Call Your Name". Since 1984 I've gone behind the scenes and have worked with various artists, worked on quite a few films and commercials. I've also written songs for various artists.

I still sing for TV & radio commercials, work on films, Radio Stations IDs, and recordings. In addition I'm doing some production of new & upcoming artists working along with Rex Salas. I also perform LIVE with Sheena Easton, and since 2003 SWITCH has gotten back together doing shows around the country.

Look out for some upcoming shows in a town near you, I would love to have you there.
