Redemption Flute

Paul Wellington’s journey from incarceration to artistic renaissance is a testament to resilience and transformation. Growing up in Brooklyn, Paul’s life was marked by adversity, which resulted in a period of 22 years of incarceration from the age of eighteen. However, within the confines of prison, he found a mentor in Grammy Award winning Steve Gorn, a master of the bansuri bamboo flute. Through Gorn’s guidance, Paul discovered the healing power of music and meditation, which led him to a profound understanding of human suffering and the immense capacity for redemption.
Paul’s passion for healing through music culminated in the creation of Redemption Flute LLC, based in Brooklyn. His work extends beyond personal transformation, touching the lives of others through sound baths, immersive retreats, and community performances. His music has resonated in diverse and significant venues, including performances at the Public Theater and La MaMa ETC, the Hare Krishna Temple, and as a regular at the Williamsburg Library in Brooklyn. He has also shared his talents at The Shrine for Mad Wednesdays in West Harlem and performed as a Black Angel for Compagnia de’ Colombari’s KING LEAR at Yale University.
Each performance is a testament to his commitment to healing and artistic expression, creating spaces where others can find solace and rejuvenation. Paul’s flute carries the melodies of redemption and renewal, offering a reminder that within every soul lies the potential for profound transformation. Through his journey and his art, Paul Wellington continues to uplift and inspire, ensuring that the cycle of healing reaches all who hear his music.
