About Paul Koenig
Currently working on his first studio album, Paul Koenig is a talented singer/songwriter in the alt-folk tradition, drawing on a range of diverse influences from the giants of 1960's-70's classic pop-rock to the young guns of today's alt-whatever resurgence.
Paul got his first guitar at the age of 12 after an extended begging campaign directed at his parents, and though he'd played a range of instruments before that, the guitar stuck. "It just seemed like a natural that I'd wind up with a guitar, eventually. When I was little I used to sneak into my sister's room and make off with her cheap nylon-string. Despite the potential for painful and emotionally scarring consequences, it was irresistible . . . "
Once he had the guitar in his hands, it just seemed natural to start writing songs. Before he had even the basic first-position chords under his fingers, he had written his first song, "Lonely At The Top". It was truly awful. "I wasn't sure what to write about, so I wrote about what I thought it might feel like to be famous. I thought it would be lonely. I was 12. What were you writing about when you were 12? Hmm?"
Since then, he's gotten better.
