Phoenix Mendoza
A teller of tales, singer of songs and painter of pictures. Phoenix Mendoza exudes the same singersongwriter/artist vibe that came to define Laurel canyon in the early 70’s.
Signed to Warner Chappell Music shortly after arriving to Nashville TN where he currently resides, Mendoza has written, performed and recorded with major label artists such as Brantley Gilbert, Love and Theft, Trevor Rosen (Old Dominion), Steve Wariner, Whisperin’ Bill Anderson, JD Souther and Raul Malo (The Mavericks) to name a few. And has been featured on major motion picture soundtracks with the likes of Chris Stapleton, Randy Houser and Kix Brooks (Brooks and Dunn).
He co-produced “Pieces of You” by Chris Carmack (Grey’s Anatomy, ABC’s Nashville, The OC) and “I Thought I Knew it All” by Electra Mustaine, with Grammy winner Ben Fowler. Both of which, were featured in Rollingstone.
He spent five years writing, recording and touring with the band HighSouth. Releasing 3 albums and topping the charts in multiple countries. His influence on the band and their music, helped rebrand them into the 70’s songwriter/vocal harmony genre that long time friend and collaborator Josh Leo, helped pioneer.
In 2019, with the arrival of his daughter Luna and shortly there after, his son Japser, the songs began to change. Phoenix felt that it was time to recalibrate his focus to a more intimate, storyteller setting. The honesty of fatherhood and the need to be present, opened a well of creativity previously untapped. From that well came his first solo project in 10 years, “Jasper - Side One” a five song EP that is currently available on all platforms. His follow up EP “Luna - Side Two” is already in the works and set to be released in 2023. Along with his music, Mendoza has been creating Original Oil paintings on canvas. Some of which are auctioned off at live shows across the country.
