Besides capitalising his name, PHO, has capitalised on endless musical encounters between his native Colombia, Japan and the Emirates. Keen on harmony-making, turntablism and scratching, he is an active selector, vinylist, and overall vibesetter. His DJ journey has led him to be an ambassador for Pioneer DJ, Ableton and Teenage Engineering, as well as begin expanding his practice towards sound-based commissions in contemporary art. PHO is currently developing his Conductive Music project working with metals. 

 

A two-time Red Bull Thre3style world finalist and global top 40 turntablist, PHO has remixed sound by Natalia Lafourcade, DJ Shadow and Little Dragon, as well as collaborated with Maloka Interactive Museum (Colombia), Playlist Retreat (USA), In Place of War (UK), Sound and Fiction (Bahrain), ITHRA (Saudi Arabia), EXPO2020 and Art Jameel (UAE). 

 

Fully unrelated to the soup, PHO’s melodic character goes by Leonardo Rojas during the day.
