What to expect

Being well versed in many genres, you will get someone who will do what's right for the music and artist. Never over playing unless asked to do so. I also make sure that I have the proper appearance and will welcome all ideas. I will give my opinion when asked. When you hire me, you get 110% effort.

Paul was a member and co-founder for the Epic/550 group the Funky Poets. This experience helped him learn about the music business by working closely with the head of A&R, David Massey, who was the president of Universal. Paul’s original song was hand picked by Michael Jackson in the movie “Free Willy”. That led to his getting music on other shows and movies such as the HBO series “Oz”. He was the co-founder and CEO of music label called Greystone Music Group. Paul realizes the importance of finding new talent and helping develop those who show promise. His knowledge of the business along with his musicianship and production skills in most genres, are instrumental when working with new and established artists.
