Paul Shine

Hi there! My name is Paul, I'm a singer/songwriter and musician based in London. I’ve loved music all my life and playing live is my favourite way of connecting to the world. Apart from singing, I’ve learned to play several instruments (piano, keyboard, guitar, bass and percussion), which has made me a versatile resourceful performer. I work with various lineups as a performing and recording artist. This includes the following: Originals & covers, solo vocals & piano/guitar across different genres. Covers band, rock / pop from all eras. Includes acoustic duo (guitar & percussion) and jazzed-up covers of popular songs. With a catalog of hundreds of songs spanning rock, pop, soul, blues, jazz, and beyond, I curate each setlist to match the mood and vibe of the occasion. I often put my own spin on familiar tunes, transforming them in fresh, unexpected ways. From weddings to corporate events, I can take requests on the spot, personalising each experience for the audience. If a song isn’t already in my repertoire, I can easily learn new tracks in advance to ensure a tailor-made performance. Over more than a decade, I have performed at prestigious venues such as The Barbican Centre, Churchill War Rooms Museum, La Fab Art Gallery (Paris) and the HMS Belfast Cruise, along with residencies at the Toulouse-Lautrec Jazz Bar in London. Beyond live shows, my original compositions have been featured in major publications, on British Airways flights, and across radio and film. I also worked as the Musical Director for the London cabaret show 'The Cult Of…’ (2023-2024). Whether performing with glamorous rockstar flair or in a more refined, sophisticated style, I know how to adjust my style to perfectly match any occasion. My aim is to deliver exceptional performances with professionalism and a dash of magic, making your special day truly unforgettable. I also offer services as a music teacher, and I’ve worked for 7 years as a private tutor and in primary/secondary schools around London. I teach Piano, Singing, Guitar and Music Theory to people of all ages. My approach to private lessons is to provide professional, friendly, and dynamic instruction that inspires students to build a meaningful connection with their instrument, while fostering a sense of purpose and enjoyment as they work toward achieving their goals. Thank you for reading and I hope to see you out there!
