PAUL LINN

About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

Paul Linn is a singer, musician and solo performer, using mostly keyboards to write music to Bill Bryant's unique and special lyrics. Bill had 80s hits with synth artist Howard Jones, most notably the Number 2 hit "What Is Love ?", as well as over half the Number 1 album "Human's Lib".

Paul and Bill are an inseparable and perfect team. To date, they have written and recorded over 100 songs. Between 1986 and 1990 they clocked up 330 gigs all over the country - mostly in Bucks, Berks and around the M25 circuit. Gigs since then have been less frequent, due to laughing about a gardener too much ! But things have started to change in 2007. More gigs and songs are a-comin' !

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 27/03/2006
Band Website: paullinn.co.uk
Band Members: Paul Linn alone (plus Biz Meir for the fourth album back in '87) but musically partnered for eternity with 80s hit lyricist Bill Bryant.
Influences: Literally all music heard whilst in the womb and since. But more specifically....I'm influenced by really great melodies, harmonies and voices, the mind-blowing lyrics of Bill Bryant, the music of ABBA, Erasure, Howard Jones, ELO, Beatles, Cliff Richard, Duran Duran, Roxette, Mike Batt, Icehouse, The Fixx, Nik Kershaw, David Bowie, Jean Michel Jarre, Queen, 10cc, OMD, Carpenters, John Barry, Human League, Thomas Dolby, John Farnham, Depeche Mode, Ultravox, Yello, Jethro Tull, Seal, Dollar....and the production of Alan Tarney, Trevor Horn, Flood, Benny & Bjorn, Christopher Neil, Jeff Lynne, Rupert Hine, Dave Stewart and Peter Collins.
Sounds Like: Closest resemblances would be elements of Erasure, Howard Jones, George Michael, Keane, China Crisis, Beautiful South, Paul McCartney, Seal, Elton John, Sinead O'Connor and Kate Bush almost at times. But all artists hate to play the 'sounds like' game, as they want to be unique !
Record Label: Eh !
Type of Label: Unsigned
