Artist:SAINT JHN
Song:Roses
Album:Collection One
Carlos St. John Phillips has had success as SAINT JHN. Roses was a top five hit in 2019. It's too soon to know if that will be his only hit. He was born Aug. 26, 1986 in Brooklyn, NY. His parents are Guyanese and he would split time between the US and Guyana. His older brother influenced him to start rapping. But it's his songwriting thatb got him attention. Phillips moved to Los Angeles and several of his songs were recorded, most notably by Usher. Phillips released Roses as a single in 2016. Though it wasn't a hit, it got LA Reid's attention and he signed Phillips to his Hitco label. Roses appeared on Phillips' 2018 debut album Collection One. The album was produced by Lee "f a l l e n" Stashenko who worked with Phillips on those Usher songs. A DJ from Kazakhstan named Imambek did a remix of Roses and that became a worldwide hit. It reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. Collection One is available as a digital download. It was not released on CD. Since then Phillips has released two albums but he hasn't had the same success. So Roses might have been a fluke hit and Phillips' future may be as a songwriter and producer. Here's the video for Roses by SAINT JHN.
