Artist History I was born in Weston-Super-Mare, England. I led a pretty normal life until the age of 5 when i started Mototcross. Within a coupl of months it was pretty obvious I was a natural. I got my first sponsorship deal at age 8 with Kawasaki and by the time I was 12 Iwas ranked top 5 in England. I continued to race until the age of 20 where I retired due to injuries and just being plane burn-out. Itaraveled aorund the world a little to countries such as Spain, Greece, Canada, and throughout Europe. I ended up living in Portugal for 6 months and then backpacked around America for another 6 months. It was then that I fell in love with America. I first lived in New York. It was here that I started to hone My skills in the music scene. I had always been interested in music, but never as a career. It's not really the norm in England. Your'e supposed to get a factory job a wife and settle down. All of my friends Know that I'm not a normal guy. So with My new found freedom anything was possible. I lived there for a year where i was exposed to some amazing talent. I really didn't know anything about the business. To be quite honest, I really didn't think that i would be able to write lyrics, let alone make any kind of music. I was actually offered a couple of little production deals, but nothing came of them.I ended up moving to Los Angeles, where i have been living for the last 6 years. In that time I've modeled for Tommy Hilfiger, Versace, D&G and various other print ads and commercials. I even did motorbike and fight stunts on the T.V. show Sliders.I've also appeared on a couple of T.V. but nothing gives Me the pleasure that singing does. So it was time to get serious and just cocentrate on that. It's taken Me a long time to find a great producer, which I have now. His name is Sebastian Evans and he is extremely talented. He is classically trained and knowlegeable in many other styles. He also writes soundsrores for cartoons, T.V. and movies. I've also started writing music now, which has definetely opened up new doors of creativity. I am currently working on my demo and have about 12 songs to choose from. I have probably another 100 songs lyrically written. So I really have My work cut out for Me. I've never felt so strong about My career and I'm really looking forward to sharing soul with You. Paul.

Instruments Very little piano and guitar ("and that's not the size")

Press Reviews INTRODUCING PAUL RICHARDS... Paul Richards has a very different secret than you think. Paul Richards' subtext has a life of it's own. Once you think you know him, you discover how much more there is to learn. Look at him. Listan to him. His reservoir of life is his nature's charm. He comes from so much.More than just England, where he was born, And more than Los Angeles where he now resides. Paul Richards transcends gender, lifestyle, age and culture. Like many Brits before him, he found the California lifestyle an ideal locale to hone his talents. But unlike most Britishpop/rock singers, Paul Richrards has a soul singer's voice. And the opposite sex is dressed to kill when they come to hear him croon. His voice is clear, resonant, passionate, sly and intelligent. But more than anything else, Paul Richards and his voice are sexual. Sexual. Paul Richards blends the voice of George Michael with a predatory sexuality and a love for women that is unparalelled. Listen to "Naughty Cleopatra" and you will hear the longing of a new kind of male. There is a sense that no mater what you say, he'll look back at you with loving eyes. And if you are lucky, maybe, just maybe he will sing for you. Yes, Paul Richards. Did you hear? He was a Hilfiger model. Yes Paul Richards had much success as a model, as astunt man, as an actor. But all the money he ever made from such transient work went to further his super objective: Music. MUSIC. He would rather spend money on studio space then than eat. His drive and determination is not only to sing, but to bring back from the dead the singer/songwriter solo artist. Paul Richards is one of the stars of the new millenium.
