Bynoe attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He studied with Wit Brown. He changed bands several times in the ensuing years. Eventually, Nuno Bettencourt of Extreme introduced Philip to Mike Mangini. He and Mangini played together in the Rick Berlin Band. They entered and won a rhythm section competition in Massachusetts. And it was Mangini who later got Bynoe an audition with [3] Steve Vai.

He recorded and played on many world tours with Vai. He received three Grammy Award nominations for his work. In 2005, he received an Emmy Award for his work on the soundtrack for a remake of Reefer Madness. Bynoe continues recording, touring and playing out. He also teaches bass and ensemble work at the L.A. Music Academy in Pasadena.

Philip also recorded some bass tracks for the soundtrack to the movie Repo! The Genetic Opera in 2008.
