ABOUT PAUL

Paul is a jazz pianist / singer, and songwriter 

He delivers a fusion of modern live looping techniques and Crooning, on the songs of the last six decades of Jewish writers and more songs from the 70’s

 

Paul started life as a musician playing in Princes square, an up-market shopping center in Glasgow Scotland, as well as local piano bars, he then got to cover for a friend Danny Thompson at Mickeys Pizza in Denmark. From there he went on to piano bars in ski resorts in Klosters and St. Moritz, Switzerland. Followed by residencies in two London West End hotels, before coming to the US 8 years ago, where he has performed throughout touring as a soloist.

 

“Check this  guy out, it’s a kiddush Hashem.” Ben Shapiro, The Daily Wire re-tweet

“He speaks in a distinctive Scottish accent. With a friendly, bubbly personality that lights up the room.” Baltimore Jewish Times

“Paul is the very embodiment of the term crooner. Knows his way round the ivories better than most.” Alex Clare, Island Records artist

 

With deep roots in storytelling and a cultural emphasis on questioning, it’s no coincidence that Paul found himself drawn to the thinking and mindset of the Jewish songwriters. Their ability to blend profound emotion with wit, and universal themes speaks to a unique worldview shaped by a history of, struggle, and creativity. Crafting songs that were both intensely personal and universally resonant. This mindset—turning hardship into beauty, humor, or hope—fostered an art form that not only entertains but also connects people across diverse experiences. Their introspective yet outward-looking approach mirrors a way of thinking that felt familiar and meaningful, drawing Paul into another* shared narrative that transcends generations.

 

*MORE ABOUT PAUL

Paul is a baal teshuvah, the term “teshuvah” means “return,” reflecting an individual’s spiritual journey back to their Jewish roots. 

Over nearly two decades, he has cultivated a connection to his heritage, and strengthens his knowledge by learning Gemorah*, dedicating an hour and a half to two hours every morning with his “chavrusah” (learning partner) Rav Eli Gestetner, grappling with its questions, unpacking its logic, and drawing connections to broader themes. 

For Paul, this daily practice is both a spiritual discipline and an intellectual journey, grounding his day in the richness of Jewish learning.

 

* The Gemora is the central text in Jewish tradition, comprising rabbinical discussions that form a vast repository of legal, ethical, and philosophical discourse. It delves into every aspect of life, offering insights and debates that guide practice and thought. 

Studying Gemora requires patience and intellectual rigor, as it often presents dense, layered arguments.
