Paul Cipriano

Postcards From California

About Me

Born in Southern California, Paul at an early age was touched by music. His parents met while touring across the U.S with the Tommy Dorsey Band in the 50’s. After years of playing live , his parents settled in Los Angeles, where his dad quickly found work as a studio musician, while mom decided to focus on her family. Paul started to play piano at an early age, then drums which reflected his high energy as a teenager, then back to his first love, piano. After years of musical hiatus, Paul decided to write songs again after seeing his dad record his first Jazz CD at Capitol Records. This was all the motivation Paul needed. Seeing how much his dad enjoyed his recording experience, Paul hooked up with Barry Fasman to record and produce his first album: Postcards From California. This CD is filled with music rooted in the 60's and the 70's with influences from such musical groups as the Beach Boys, the Byrds, the Monkees and other successful bands from California. The road ahead is clear for Paul: make California Music a popular style, once again.
