Paul Savia
I am a solo artist. I have been jazz trained on guitar and classically trained on string bass. I am a songwriter, vocalist, and arranger. While a rockabilly feel is at the core of much of my music, I try to take it to another level with the infusion of jazz, classical, and straight rock elements. I have written straight jazz, classical, country, and new wave music as well. Nothing is off limits!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been in quite a few bands over the years, but this is my first attempt to go it alone as a solo artist. Ultimately, I'd love to hook up with like-minded musicians to form a new band.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I've finished one CD and am currently working on a second one. I want to form a band to play out these originals in the near future.
