Melbourne VIC, Australia

Paul J Penton is a craft-based singer songwriter with 45 years of strumming and singing under his belt. Anything from a Gibson acoustic to a 12 string or Classical guitar has been mastered, along with resonators and ukulele. More recently, he’s started to embrace an even wider musical family. His latest songs, while remaining lyric-driven, have strong melodic structures and orchestration. Not surprising considering Paul is a trained sound engineer. More than 35 years industry experience including orchestral recording has given him an artist’s ear and feel for music. Seminars with hit songwriters Jason Blume (“Dear Diary” - Britney Spears), Steve Seskin (“Grown Men Don’t Cry”- Tim McGraw) as well as Grammy award winning producer Stephen Webber have offered an insight into the writing and production techniques that work for some of the best in the music business. Paul continues to study through Berklee Music College learning lyric construction with Pat Pattison and Andrea St
