Paul has been studying and performing live music in Toronto Canada for 20 years.
Latin, Jazz, R&B & Reggae are the four primary genres he performs in. Paul’s primary instrument is the guitar. His approach to his ‘hybrid picking technique’ allows his instrument to comp voicings like a Piano and connect chords like the Bass (as well as draw out interesting rhythmic melodies). He plays and scats his high and low speed lines simultaneously, and especially enjoys amalgamating the inflections of other instruments via the guitar such as: Sax, Drums, Keyboard pitch-wheel, Slap Bass & Violin.
Paul's approach to singing originally comes from a heavy Jazz influence. However, his rhythmic 'feel' comes from the world of Latin & R&B.
Paul is a lyricist and composes his own work. His music is organized in almost every musical genre. He enjoys blending and conducting these genres on stage at any unrehearsed moment. Paul's attention is focused on developing every aspect of live performance, production and marketing. From facilitating rehearsals & live performances with fellow musicians, to entertaining and hosting onstage for audiences in any formal or informal setting.
Here's a passionate player you'll have trouble forgetting...
Alton ‘The Groove Merchant’ Sutherland
(Bass, Backing Vocals)
As one of the most accomplished bassists in Toronto, Alton has been performing for 30 years both as a live entertainer and as a studio-session musician. He has worked with artists such as: Deborah Cox, Chaos & Choclair.
Alton's precision and 'feel' make his instrument 'talk.' His rhythms and chord progressions behind his bass-lines make him the kind of artist that will turn anyone's head...
Raffaelle 'The Italian Stallion' Stanghi
(Drums, Backing Vocals, Percussion)
Raffaelle has been a student of percussion all of his life. Now an accomplished instructor, this Humber College-Trained practitioner has been grooving for more than 15 years. His attention to technique intertwined with a natural sense of stable rhythm has made him the dynamic and confident drummer he is today.
Raff's main influences come from Jazz and Latin. However, his level of sophistication diversifies from as high as African Rhythms in odd time-signatures, to the grooving and 'jump-up' simplicities of Funk and Soca.
