Biography

Hi, my name is Paul Thomas & I'm a song lyricist (try saying that after a few beers! I was born & grew up in north London with Camden Town, Swiss Cottage, Primrose Hill & Regents Park as my playgrounds. I now live (or try my best to live) in Israel. I have some Welsh blood too as my mother & grandmother were from Wales. I am always writing song lyrics and I will consider working with any artist, singer or band - established or not, wishing to add music to my lyrics & turn them into songs. I really don't care if you are famous or not, as long as you can make music & think you can make a good song from my lyrics. I believe that the act of creation, in this instance - creating songs, is a gift from God! I have worked with/for/met many famous people from The Queen to Presidents and I'm really not easily impressed by titles - what matters most is who you are, not what you are or what title you hide behind! I will consider working with you if you are honest, polite and can make good music (no matter what type of music) - these are the main traits I look for in a song collaboration and I work with artists from all over the globe irrespective of race, gender or religious views. My musical & lyrical roots are drawn from English Folk, American Folk & Blues, Christian/Gospel with influences from English nursery rhymes and church hymns.

I also write lyrics for a German band, 'Guitavio' www.myspace.com/guitavio. Guitavio released their new Cd "Songs of Love and Loss" through Moon Sound Records ref: 1315-1514-11 containing songs with six of my lyrics on 30th March 2007! You can buy 'Songs of Love and Loss' through Guitavio's web site at www.guitavio.de/diskographie.htm
I also have a song collaboration known as 'The Grils', check out 'The Grils' site & songs at: www.the-grils.com.

I am also now on Facebook at www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=575632081 and I'll be happy to be added as a 'friend'. More songs can be heard on the 'ReverbNation' song player below.
You are invited to check out my used & unused lyrics which can be viewed at: www.12inter.net/e-lyricz/user.php?id=1519 - if you see any you like then contact me and maybe we can make sweet music!.
