The music of Aruba-born Amsterdam-based artist Pieter Monzón, aka Pete Philly is a blend of hip hop, soul and jazz. Quite a story behind the man who was fronting for the likes of Kanye West and James Brown then disappeared. It was Lyme disease that forced him to drop out of his flourishing music career – an illness that took 20 years to diagnose. Before that Philly wasn’t sure what the problem was: often Lyme disease can be misdiagnosed as a number of other illnesses, from gluten intolerance to allergies to paranoid schizophrenia. Pete Philly is back, and the MC who used to be one half of Pete Philly & Perquisite is now a solo artist,  producer and MC all in one.
