Paul's music was the perfect addition to our event. The music was just loud enough to provide the perfect ambience and the songs were just right. Paul was prompt, professional and friendly. He was careful to make sure he understood what we wanted. Great job!

September 2, 2018A great performance!
Paul was great! He was accommodating when we asked for him to play a custom song for our wedding ceremony and his personal jazz music was perfect for our cocktail hour. He was quick to respond to emails and was the most professional vendor we worked with, we highly recommend him!

About
Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Paul started playing the piano when he was 7 years old. In high school he formed his own band and played various parties and clubs in the area.
After graduating from Taylor Alderdice High School he went on to Duquesne University where he graduated. During that time he continued playing various venues in the Pittsburgh area.
He was the opening pianist for the posh "Tender Trap" and later shared the gig with the late Johnny Costa. Paul also played the Pitt Pot, Haddon Hall, The Encore and the infamous Bachelors Club of New Kensington to name a few.
Through the years, he has continued to develop his style and please those who have heard him play.
Recently his hands have appeared playing the piano for Brad Pitt in the movie "The curious case of Benjamin Button."
