As a songwriter, Paul continues to gain the respect of peers, as well as fans. His song, “I Wanna Be Howie” was a Song Of The Year nominee for the 2012 Trop-Rock Music Awards (www.troprock.org), and the autobiographical “Just To See If I Could” was a top finalist in the 2012 Great American Songwriting Contest (www.greatamericansong.com). Both are included on his first solo CD, “Today’s The Day”, which has been receiving great reviews, including the following from acclaimed singer-songwriter Keith Sykes: “Songwriting, song selection, performances and production are all top notch. I'd be very proud of this record if it were mine." Paul has also been nominated for Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2013 & 2014 Trop-Rock Music Awards!
