City of Havelock issued the following announcement on Sept. 19.
Phillip Enkey was born and raised in a small town on the coast of North Carolina called Havelock. His parents were both marines and he was one of five young boys when his mother passed away in a tragic car accident. Phillip relied on music as a way to cope with the loss of his mother and the formation of his new family. Phillip found love young, meeting his future wife, Dani, at 14 yrs old. They dated exclusively through highschool until Phillip eventually left on a two year mission for his church at the age of 19. Dani wrote him every week and they married when he returned home. Much of his music is from falling in love as a teenager and getting through the pains of loss, depression and addiction with the help of his young love Dani and his faith. Phillip later learned that his deceased mother had given away a baby for adoption when she was 16, Phillip was united with a sister he never knew he had! Later his brother William Enkey came home after serving two tours in Afghanistan with wounds only soldiers can understand. This inspired Phillip to join the Army. Music from Phillip Enkey is born from love, inspiration needed in painful times and a resiliant spirit that has carried him through high highs and very low lows. His music is known for its positive upbeat and catchy romantic flavor. Anyone looking to add a catchy uplifting vibe to their day should start by listening to music born from the unique and inspiring life and story of Phillip Enkey.
