From the very first notes, Philip Seibel drops us into the razor-edged rock satire of “I am RICH”, a theatrical jab at billionaires, dictators, and profiteers drunk on their own privilege. Mixing operatic vocals with sharp rock energy, he paints a world where excess becomes grotesque. “I swim in the ocean with the great white shark” lands like a wicked punchline, exposing an elite that glides through danger without ever paying the price. The video amplifies this dark humor: lavish rooms, a pet shark circling in its private tank, war shown like morning news, and a trophy hall filled with predators, including a human. Bold, outrageous, and disturbingly funny, it’s a satire that cuts deep, brought to light by Slash Music.

Philip Seibel, or the Art of Surviving, Creating, and Revealing the Unspoken
Long before becoming the blazing artist we see today, Philip Seibel was a runaway teenager who escaped the “Children of God” cult at age fifteen. The streets became his classroom: busking, odd jobs, dancing, surviving, every encounter shaping an artist driven by fire. His musical awakening came by a river, with a borrowed guitar, a few chords, and a realization: art would be his escape. His universe blends theatre, rock, emotional intensity, and a rare vocal range (from B1 to F5, sometimes reaching C6). True to his roots and deeply aware of street realities, Philip is now launching a remarkable fundraising campaign: half of the revenue generated by his two songs will be donated to homeless shelters and food distribution centers this winter. Convinced that music holds the power to help the most vulnerable, he rejects the notion of deserved wealth and denounces the hypocrisy of an elite that labels the poor as lazy while they are often the hardest workers on the planet. Facing global exploitation and forced labor perpetuated by billionaire greed, Philip chooses to take action, transforming his art into a weapon against injustice. Along this extraordinary journey, he also nurtures his YouTube community with striking generosity, sharing videos, stories, and creations without restraint. Those who wish to explore his world even further may stumble, almost by accident, upon his books or a site where he unveils more of his path: www.philipseibel.com.
Today, between his fight to abolish the statute of limitations for crimes against children and the preparation of his new solo show, Rock the Attic, Philip moves forward with raw conviction. Stay ready… he might surprise you sooner than you think.
