Writes bittersweet love songs and is one of the primary players in the ‘sad folk’ movement. Has produced/engineered and designed the artwork for all 6 solo cds......averitable one man band.

Rock ‘N Folk (one of France’s majormusic papers) recently said “he is without doubt one of the best European singer/songwriters, a great guitarist as well, equipped with a magic voice, a perfect mixture of silk and grit. The first song, ‘Breakfast in bed’ is a gem, a dream impregnated with bittersweet nostalgia that never leaves us after hearing it.”

CD Baby have hailed Paul as “a true songsmith in the tradition of Leonard Cohen, Nick Drake and Paul Simon” while also intoning of the album “Earthquakes is as fine an album as you’ll hear this or any other year”.

Here’s another quote from CD Baby (the world’s biggest online distributor of independent cd’s) : ‘Belle is, without a doubt, one of the most memorable male folk albums to come through our doors in years.’
