Matt Phillips 

Bass 

Matt Phillips grew up in a family of musicians. Watching his dad play banjo on stage and his grandad play his ‘56 Les Paul sparked his love of music. 

At the age of 15, what clinched the deal and lit a fire to be a musician was seeing Kiss on the cover of Metal Edge magazine. Matt’s main influences were Kiss and Aerosmith. 

Matt honed his skills and joined Soul Skard and later Black Water Burn. After Black Water Burn, he joined Storage 24 and has been a key influence keeping the Storage 24 dream alive.

Karsten “Bumblebee” Hilton 

Guitar 

Karsten Hilton was born in Böblingen, West Germany and came to the states when he was a year old. 

His parents and grandparents influenced his musical taste from classical music, big bands, Chet Atkins, Les Paul, and pretty much everything from the 1920’s through the 1980’s. Until, Karsten discovered rock and heavy metal in the mid 1980’s. There, the lone journey began. 

Karsten’s musical endeavor began at 9 years old when he began learning Violin and acoustic guitar. After a brief 8 year hiatus from learning music, Karsten picked up guitar again and never looked back. 

The musical path Karsten has taken has lead him to learn much and his love of music  has allowed him to play in many bands in different capacities. Karsten’s main instrument has been guitar, but he has played bass, drums, and sang vocals in a few bands. He also dabbles and doodles around on piano for fun. 

Just a few bands Karsten has been in and recorded with before joining Storage 24. 

- Beneath the Blood 
- Black Water Burn
