Paul Hill

*I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. Paul Hill is more than just a soul singer, he is a movement unto himself. Detroit-born and soul-bred, his upward trajectory in the medium has been shaped by a number of significant influences.

His love for true soul music was cultivated by his late mother Carolyn A. Hill. Since the age of seven the soul of Detroit’s original Motown sound has inspired his unmistakable style. He was fed a full course of classic R&B, Soul, Jazz, and Funk. Listening to diverse crooners – from Al Green to Frank Sinatra, to Marvin Gaye – he had many influences and added flair to his music by merging their styles with icons like Stevie Wonder, Parliament-Funkadelic, and The Beatles. Paul is a music connoisseur with a knack for bridging the old and the new. He is one with true musical soul and spirit.

A maestro of musical prowess, Paul is an unrivaled force in singing, songwriting, and production. His career is marked by groundbreaking collaborations, electrifying performances, and a profound impact on the music industry.

In the Company of Legends: Paul has shared the stage with luminaries such as George Clinton, Beyoncé, Bootsy Collins, James Brown, John Legend, Snoop Dogg, Macy Gray, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and OutKast. These collaborations have solidified his reputation as a versatile and dynamic artist.

Television’s Captivating Enigma: Paul has showcased his talent on iconic platforms including Jay Leno, David Letterman, and the electrifying Sinbad Summer Jam. His magnetic presence has captivated audiences and left a lasting impression on the world of televised entertainment.
