Eastern Rosellas Song – Miles Phillips (and Dad)

Australian indie music has witnessed an organic viral phenomenon with the release of EASTERN ROSELLAS SONG by MILES PHILLIPS (AND DAD). Created by seven year old songwriter Miles Phillips alongside his father Joel Phillips, the catchy anthem captures pure, joyful songwriting that quickly captured the attention of music lovers worldwide. What started as a simple home recording at a family keyboard rapidly transformed into a genuine internet sensation, earning millions of views online and landing high rotation airplay across national radio stations.

The inspiration behind EASTERN ROSELLAS SONG came during a family holiday to Raymond Island in Victoria. While feeding seeds to local birds on the veranda, MILES PHILLIPS noticed the striking colors of a native eastern rosella parrot that kept tapping on the window for more food. Prompted by the moment, he began singing the memorable chorus about the bird’s bright red, yellow, green, and blue feathers. His dad Joel Phillips helped workshop the melody into a complete rock composition, which was later brought to life in the studio with music producer Brad Dymock handling the production.

Released as an official standalone single, EASTERN ROSELLAS SONG blends energetic guitar riffs, driving drum beats, and youthful vocal hooks that evoke the spirited indie rock sounds of bands like Vampire Weekend, The Strokes, and The B52s. The massive wave of attention surrounding MILES PHILLIPS (AND DAD) even inspired high profile covers from established Australian music icons including Ben Lee and Sam Cromack of Ball Park Music. Beyond the internet praise, the recording was even adopted as the official daily school bell sound at the primary school attended by MILES PHILLIPS.

For listeners looking for authentic, human songwriting filled with uninhibited creative energy, EASTERN ROSELLAS SONG by MILES PHILLIPS (AND DAD) stands as a refreshing highlight in contemporary indie music. The single is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major digital platforms.
