For a 20 year old, Paul Steel has some stories to tell. If you meet him you could ask him about the time he sat up ‘til the early hours of the morning playing music on tiny travel speakers in a California hotel lobby with Nelson Bragg (Brian Wilson’s percussionist). Or when he got a call from Andy Partridge (XTC) after sending him a demo. Or maybe you’ll just get into a chat about growing up in Worthing and working in BP.That’s the thing about Paul – he’s extraordinary and normal all at once.With his mini-album ‘April & I’, which he penned aged 17 in his Brighton bedroom, Paul got the music industry talking and gained a steady live following. Now signed to Fascination/Polydor he is set to release his first single - the fuzzy, summer pop treat 'Your Loss’.
Galloping along at a fair old pace, it’s a punch-packing, organ-fuelled, Supergrass-feeling -the-noize epic, which is typical of Paul’s charismatic song writing talents
Paul is currently playing live in the lead up to the release of his debut album ‘Moon Rock’ later this summer.
