Press Reviews You can stand back and look up into the sky because after catching a strong glimpse of this multi-talented individual, you will realize that a Star Is Born! Paul Hopkins a native of Philadelphia thoroughly trained himself to write music and play both piano and guitar. At the darling age of 4 years old, he discovered in his grandmothers basement when rehearsing to get that 360~Degree spin down pat, that he loves to perform.He has that babyface, youthful appearance that allures you to want to listen, watch, and love him. "Paul" is a truly gifted multitalented self-contained unit. He is known for his mellow, smooth , jazzy soft notes and his extraordinary 3 1/2 octave tenor vocal range. While composing, producing, and performing all of the musical arrangements in various musical styles, from R&B to Gospel, from Pop to Jazz, from Love Ballads to those Baddd -Dance House mixes. You will hear a voice that will leave you in ahhh!Some of his production and publishing credits appear on Ruffhouse/Columbia Records, Virgin Records Blacksands Records, MusicStation Records, Omega, Metropolitan Records,Coffee & Cream Records and London Records International. Some of the artist include: Larry Larr, Elaine Monk (Niece of jazz legend Thelonius Monk), international Jamaican star Nardo Ranks, Rachael Scarborough, Ron Hevener, and European sensation Andy Romano."Paul" has also received honorable mentions from Larry Flick of Billboard Magazine for his work. His musical influences extend from some of the great entertainers of the past like the talents of Sam Cook, Jackie Wilson, James Brown, Elvis Presley, Marvin Gaye, Prince, Sly Stone, and today's own, Brian McKnight. "Paul" also has the ability to sing and compose lyrics in Spanish and French where he can surely tap into the Latino and World Market as well.Currently Paul is completing his latest solo album project titled “Vintage” . This Album will include music from the past to the present . Including remake renditions of some of the great songs of the past like the 1960's Golden Oldie by The Flamingos, "I Only Have Eyes For You", and Sam Cooke’s “A Change Gonna Come” "Paul" adds a flavor so that today's new generation can appreciate what real music is like by re-introducing classic production string arrangements. "Paul" believes that music came to him as a blessing in disguise, because the industry really made it challenging for him, but even though “Paul” says "Nothing comes easy; you have to want it real bad, God has to allow it to happen in the right time." Well according to “Paul's” inspirations, the time is near and he's the bomb willing and ready to blow up!!
