Paul is a multi talented entertainer, singer-songwriter and a very contemporary styled, ordained Jewish cantor. At home on the concert stage, in the theatre, on sound stages, churches, Buddhist temples and of course in Jewish synagogues, his beautiful tenor voice, along with his three octave range, complement his stylistic versatility. Paul’s singing and performing are always straight from his heart.

“The live venue, where I can see and connect with the people is my favorite”. In concert, he sings his own music along with great Inspirational songs. He is deeply connected to all the music he sings and is musically all over the map.  Pop, Rock, American Songbook, Musical Theatre, Jewish music, synagogue music and when he gets a special request, opera. Even in the synagogue, every song he chooses he makes his own. It’s been said “Paul sings with the pathos of a Cantor and the rock and roll enthusiasm of a veteran stage performer” People are always thoroughly moved.

HOPE, his newest album is filled with songs about believing in your dreams and then doing something to make them come true.

His previous album I See The Whole World Shine is an uplifting, feel good collection of contemporary inspirational songs. Several of the songs from this album were chosen to be on the Spirit Series CD Collection and on Jewish Songs of Protest & Hope, published by Transcontinental Music.

His songs are sung by others in concerts and in temples & churches. Paul is a proud member of the Helfman Composers Group and participated in David’s Quilt, and Amazed, two exciting new works with the UCLA Orchestra, Choir and other terrific soloists.

Paul might have been influenced to become a Jewish cantor by his grandmother, but he is certainly not your grandmother’s cantor. Though well versed in traditional Jewish cantorial arts, Paul is known for his work in creating ground breaking progressive music and musical services. He sees himself as a cantor for all people, all religions, all denominations singing spiritual and inspirational music for everyone.

First with a career as an actor, director and writer in the entertainment business, Paul began his cantorial career at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles.

He helped create FRIDAY NIGHT LIVE and TORAH IN THE ROUND at Sinai Temple in Los Angeles and the award winning services SHABBAT SINGS and KOLOT for both Friday Night and Shabbat Morning, at Temple Ramat Zion in Los Angeles. In addition he, with Rabbi Michael Graetz, created the award winning booklet/CD PRAY IN DEED as a learning companion to these innovative services.

Paul is excited to now be the cantor at Congregation Ahavath Sholom, an over 120 year old congregation in beautiful Fort Worth Texas. 120 years young in it’s desire to innovate and be on the cutting edge, bringing what is spiritual, meaningful to what is old and new.

Paul has sung and continues to sing around the country and in Canada. He would love to bring his music to you.
