Phillip “Flip” Hayner received his BA in Music Performance from Piedmont University in NE Georgia.  Since graduating in 2005, Hayner headlined and was the main songwriter for the band Ramblewood, a rock/indie ensemble based out of Atlanta, GA.  After some short-lived success, he moved on to a career in IT, unsure of the financial prospects of a music career.

 

During this time, however, he continued pursuing his passion as a hobby, studying composition briefly with Pulitzer Prize winning composer, Leslie Bassett.  He studied with several jazz guitarists, Internationally acclaimed classical guitarist Mary Akerman, and flat-pick guitar with Grammy nominated guitar trailblazer, Russ Barenberg.  He also enjoys playing jazz/blues piano.

 

After eight years serving as an IT Executive in Financial Services, Hayner decided to pursue his true passion, and Brave New World - The Musical is his first foray into the musical world.  He currently resides with his family in Asheville, North Carolina.
