In early 2020, Ryan Dilmore sent me a song he wrote (based on true events in lockdown) and challenged me to create a video for it, which became the opening credits to Philly’s Phone World. While I’m the face of the show, PPW exists because of Ryan’s imagination, creativity, and superhuman talent for making the impossible possible – which, in addition to bringing a bear to life and sending me to Mars, includes composing and recording an entire score of music in his apartment.

The Philly’s Phone World Original Soundtrack features songs and instrumentals from the PPW trilogy, as well as a very special bonus track, “Different Kind of Friend,” with vocals by me and my dad (who reprises his role as the beloved Bearfriend). And it’s out now on Bandcamp via our special Pay What You Wish plan! If you’re a fan of PPW, we hope you enjoy this album and show your support by purchasing a copy for the price of a small cup of coffee or a medium-sized sedan.

Filming PPW was a way to connect during the most isolated time, through the early months of the pandemic and then as my mum’s health declined. I’m so grateful that both she and my dad are a part of it. And I’m forever grateful for the kind of friend that is Ryan Dilmore.
