SaulPaul

USA

SaulPaul is an award winning and GRAMMY nominated Musician with a Message. As a Singer Songwriter, SaulPaul loves to defy musical categorization and explore the grey area between genres, forging a sound described as “rooted in soulful folk, boosted by hip hop rhythms, cinematic storytelling and ear worm melodies.” For him, an acoustic guitar is the true test of a song’s character. “The goal is to create something timeless,” he says. “If things don ‘t stand up with just an acoustic guitar and vocals, I don’t think they’re worthy of recording.”

SaulPaul’s voice is unique and emotive, his lyrics, simple, clever and profound; he’s been bending ears and genre lines through sage storytelling for years. And people connect with his songwriting. His song Rise, charted on Sirius XM for well over 4 months, holding the #1 slot for 2 consecutive weeks.

SaulPaul has shared his story and his music at 2 TEDx talks, America’s Got Talent as well as the Kennedy Center for Performing Arts. As SaulPaul entertains and inspires audiences across the world, he continues to use his platform to promote social good and advocate for youth.
