Phillip Boa (born Ernst Ulrich Figgen;[1] 18 January 1963) is a German independent musician, songwriter, singer, guitarist and composer. The musical style followed by Boa and his band Phillip Boa & The Voodooclub was described in a review by NME as "a cross between B52's and Captain Beefheart".[citation needed] The style of his lyrics is a mix of irony, love songs, sarcasm and is often of bizarre and deranged content. Boa has written over 400 songs, and 21 of his studio albums made it to the top 60 of the charts.
Boa's current name is unknown after two divorces and name changes. Boa lives in Dortmund, Hamburg and on the island of Malta.
