Paul Nose

PAUL NOSE is the stage name of Italian singer-songwriter and musician Kecco Recchia whose distinctive pop is a fusion of blues, rock, funk and the jazzy Italian songwriting tradition. After an intense career in Italy, he first moved to NYC in 2011 then to the UK cultivating his English songwriting and exploring new territories, releasing his debut album PLUG AND PRAY in 2012. He continued producing songs in Italian under the name Keccore': albums like STRAFATTO IN CASA (2014) the album from which LOGICHE RELAZIONALI is taken. This song is included in the soundtrack of PANE E BURLESQUE, a highly successful Italian film in which he also makes a small cameo appearance, portraying himself. Kecco kept gigging between England and Italy performing both originals and covers as a solo artist with his guitar and loop station, as well as with bands. In 2016 he released another album in Italian called ANNI MOSSI as KECCORE’, which is promoted through the show IL PENDOLO, inspired by the theatrical songs of Gaber and Luporini. It would be released later as a live album in 2020. In 2020, during the pandemic, he fused his personas into the experimental and provocative project ONE MINUTE OLD: nine one-minute songs with a hidden question: is our attention span really so low? In 2021 he released EXIT his second album as PAUL NOSE with some tracks featured on BBC Introducing Nottingham and aired on Notts TV. Notable for being the musical director with the PAUL NOSE BAND for the FAME UK REUNION in 2019 (Liverpool) and 2022 (Birmingham) which turned also into a fantastic and unique live album released in 2022 capturing the energy and nostalgia of the event, Kecco teaches Italian at the University of Nottingham and supports emerging songwriters through INSPIRE charity.
