PHLO is a South African band based in the city of Cape Town. The band was formed in 2018 and comprises of Phehello Makgoe (lead vocals), Nicholas Jeffrey (lead vocals, rhythm guitar and keyboard), Ulrich Beckering Vinckers (lead guitar), Durand Pelser (bass guitar) and David Griffin Jones (drums and backing vocals). The band operates independently.

PHLO’s music is largely centred around the pop, rock and alternative genres with a raw sound, but often flows further to include the likes of funk, blues, and jazz. Part of PHLO’s unique sound comes from having 2 lead vocalists and their melodic interplay with each other.

Background
PHLO formed in early 2018. The band members met through Smuts Hall residence where they all lived while studying at the University of Cape Town. The band originally formed under the intention of performing a once-off gig at an event at a popular restaurant in Cape Town. However, after such a successful performance the group quickly realized they had a future together. From then on, the group began its writing its own original music, leading to the release of its first single, 'Some Time', in December of 2018.
