Biography

Alton Paul has been singing professionally for seventeen years with the release of his first album called “All You Need Is Faith” that saw distribution not only in the United States, but abroad to Africa. He has gone on to independently produce nine albums altogether. Alton P. hails from Chicago, IL which is where he attributes his roots. Born to a family of fifteen, with most of them being musically inclined, he garnered a taste from each to create his own style. His music career began to take off with substantial radio air play and television guest spots. And 1993 brought continued success with the opportunity of working with Mom Winans of the famous Winans family of Detroit.

In 1996 Alton Paul took a break from the music business to deal with family issues.
After a six year leave, Alton, in 2002 started work on a project titled “He Brings the Sunshine”. Which was released in the Spring of 2003, for the Christian Contemporary genre and it too saw substantial distribution in the United States and abroad as far as Sri Lanka. He followed that up with “Cold World” which was a collaboration of material from the “All You Need Is Faith” album and unreleased material in the Fall of 2003. Late winter/early spring of 2004 brought “I Believe” for the Praise and Worship genre. “He Keeps My Dreams” followed in late summer/early fall of 2004; it being a mixture of Contemporary Christian along with some Praise and Worship.

In 2005 the collaboration between Alton Paul and Rhesa Siregar from Indonesia brought about the release of the “You Are the One” CD, co-written by Alton Paul and Rhesa Siregar. “You Are the One” is a nice mixture of Christian Smooth Jazz, Contemporary Christian, with a little Praise and Worship. This was followed up with a Christmas CD titled “Seasons Greetings” with the arrangements in the Smooth Jazz genre. Because Rhesa lives in Indonesia the projects have had their challenges, but all were over come which culminated in to what we hear today, “You Are the One” and “Seasons Greetings”. The “Seasons Greetings” CD is a mixture of vocals by Alton Paul and instrumentals by Rhesa Siregar and includes such favorites like; “Have Yourself A Merry Christmas”, “White Christmas”, “The Christmas Song”, “Joy To the World” and a couple of originals written by Norma Stephenson from Nashville, Tennessee.

While he has shared the stage with Mom Winans and others of the Gospel music genre, his music ministry has predominately comprised the Christian Contemporary genre.
