New York-based singer/songwriter Paul Sforza’s latest EP Destination introduces five new original songs with instantly memorable lyrics and melodies. Paul’s smooth, soulful voice and a polished production by Sugarland musical director Scott Patton make this a collection that pop/rock fans will not want to miss. Paul’s debut album Lifelines received praise for its “sophisticated” and “comfortably timeless” take on adult pop and earned Paul comparisons to classic pop/soul artists such as Steve Winwood, and Michael McDonald. Before relocating to New York, Paul spent many fruitful years on the Atlanta scene. Emerging as a repeat winner of local open-mic competitions, he built a following through local club gigs as well as live performances and promotions for local radio stations Z93, WREK, and 680 The Fan. Strong fan support for his band Paul Sforza and Release helped lead to a Readers’ Choice nod in Creative Loafing’s “Best of Atlanta” issue. Paul’s songs have continued to garner critical praise as well as listener interest. Several tracks have received honorable mention in international songwriting competitions. They are also featured on an adult-contemporary playlist currently receiving airplay at retailers such as Office Depot and J.C. Penney. Paul and his band continue to perform for his devoted fans at venues in the New York area. Acoustic folk-rock soulster/balladeer from Upper Manhattan. Find me on Pandora, Itunes & Spotify!
