Andrew Paul

Award-winning songwriter Andrew Paul is an agile multi-instrumentalist, composer, and performer who focuses, above all else, on making great music. He’s played and recorded with iconic artists in a diversity of genres, from Lady Gaga and the Roots to James Taylor and Chris Botti, but he’s known primarily for his artistry and dexterity as a trumpet player. He’s also a singer, pianist, violinist, guitarist, and producer, with a career history that includes performances at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Bowery Ballroom, and The Apollo Theater. Andrew’s remarkable range and flexibility is paired with a candor and vulnerability that makes his sound unique. After a successful career contributing to various GRAMMY-nominated albums and performing extensively with beloved groups (including NYC local favorite Jesus On The Mainline and Nees and Vos with Chris Vos of The Record Company), he’s launching his solo career as Andrew Paul, releasing a series of captivating, pared-down tracks that feel both raw and classic at the same time. The new project highlights Andrew’s ability to build emotionally stirring and distinct music with little beyond his voice and his guitar. “What I care most about is creating something great. We’re constantly trying to become better versions of ourselves, but that doesn’t mean the skin we’re in is any less perfect or less worthy. One of my goals with this project is to strike a balance between making something perfect and making something real.”
