If anyone has both the heart and skill that perfectly personifies a supremely successful musician and Christian creative entrepreneur, it’s Trent Phillips. 

From his roots as a music minister in Miami, to becoming the driving force behind  a vast catalog of Grammy, Dove, and Stellar Award-winning albums and songs, Trent Phillips has established himself as one of the leading Producers, Musical Directors and Keyboardists of our generation. 

Far from resting on his accomplishments in music, which include directing bands and producing for Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Donnie McClurkin, Bishop Paul S. Morton, and dozens of other top-tier gospel legends, Trent has continuously dedicated himself to raising up the next generation of musicians and creatives. 

In this revealing and inspiring interview, Trent reveals the process that shaped his career in gospel music industry, and his character as a Christian and businessperson.   You’ll hear in his own words what he learned from his early years in music ministry, to becoming a MD on one of the most iconic albums in gospel music history, and the lessons he’d learned as a leader of worship leaders and coach to the next generation of music ministers and producers.

  • How he remained in mentorship relationships that helped him connect with the right artists
  • How his early years steered him toward the path of music and how multiple influences kept him flexible as a musician
  • How being open to God’s leading resulted in the biggest shift in his musical career
  • Why musicians cannot be presumptuous in their dedication to only one career path
  • Why he prioritizes the value of the local church despite his worldwide success
  • His most treasured moment and the moments when he knew he had wasted an opportunities
  • His advice to every musician and creative in a post COVID-19 music industry
