In 2004, Phillip decided to return to his theme park roots and successfully auditioned for the role of 'Wolfie' in Universal Studios Japan's "Monsters Live". This was a life changing experience. Being a part of this intensely creative world really cultivated his desire to start working behind the scenes. Over the next year Phillip would be asked to assist on various new projects and by 2005 he was given the opportunity to step completely behind the scenes and became the full-time Musical Director on USJ's creative team. In the years that followed, Phillip was promoted to Associate Director where he wrote and produced an array of shows and then was promoted again to Show Director and given the responsibility of leading many successful large scale projects. Some USJ highlights include, 2007 and 2008 "Universal Studios Japan Halloween Parade" - Director/Choreographer; "Santa's Toy Party" 2008 - Director/Choreographer; "Hello Kitty's Hollywood Adventure" - Musical Director/Choreographer; "Sesame St Dancing Dreams" - Musical Director/Choreographer; “Magical Starlight Parade” - Head Choreographer and "Wicked" - Resident Musical Director.
In 2010 after a fantastic six year run, Phillip decided to return to his beloved native Sydney. Since returning to Australia, he has continued to work as both a Musical Director and Choreographer with a client list that now includes McDonald’s Australia, Commonwealth Bank, The XXXX Angels, Sydney Carols In The Domain, and Luminous Events Asia.
