Seth Paul -

Unassuming
may just be
the best way
to describe
Seattle
based
singer/songwriter
Seth Paul.
Confident?
Perhaps.
Driven?
Absolutely.
But unlike
many other
musicians
who fall
under the
singer/songwriter
umbrella,
Seth is
reserved,
deliberate
and modest.
Nowhere is
this more
clear, then
on his debut
album,
Stepping
Away.
For Seth, it
seems as if
life had
pointed him
in this
direction
early on.
Raised by a
philosopher/artist
mother in
the shadow
of an
absent,
albeit
brilliant,
pianist
father,
music was a
part of his
life for as
long as he
can
remember.
Raised on
everything
from Bob
Dylan to
Miles Davis,
Seth
absorbed
what he
describes as
"an
intellectual
music
background."
By 16 he had
devoted
himself to
the guitar,
and by 17
with the
help of a
drum machine
and 4-track,
he was
composing
and
archiving
his own
songs.
It seemed
only a
matter of
time once
Seth
abandoned
his hometown
of Spokane
for Seattle
that he
would find
the correct
set of
circumstances
that would
allow him to
flourish.
The
beginning of
his
professional
career came
when he met
and began
working with
long-time
producer
Steve Adamek
(The
Believers,
Left Hand
Smoke).
