Paul Nowell, known professionally as Paul The Trombonist, is a Los Angeles-based music producer, educator[1] composer[2] songwriter,[3] performer,[4][5][6] and trombonist.[7][8][9][10]
Education[edit]
Paul graduated from Berklee College of Music on scholarship where he studied with some of other notable trombonists like Phil Wilson.[11][12]
Career[edit]
Paul's Berklee College of Music professor Phil Wilson flew out to Los Angeles to collaborate on a video series called the Phil Wilson/Paul The Trombonist videos series.[12] This led to the development of internet show Bone Masters in which Paul features other trombonists. This resulted in a large educational video library about the trombone that on its own became notable.[13][14]
Arturo Sandoval met Paul in Los Angeles and partnered with him to create a series of online videos. Their cover of the song Peanut Vendor went viral and as of March 2017 it had 1.4 Million views on Facebook.[13][14][15][9]
Paul has also been a trombonist in Aretha Franklin's band[16] as well as performed with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane, Frankie Valli.[12][13][8]
Paul's debut album was Journey to the World. The album received critical acclaim for fusing acoustic trombone with the electronic world. The album also charted on Amazon's best seller list at #26 for jazz sales and #34 in the electronic music category in its first week. His live show is an extension of the album using trombone, looping, keyboards and DJing. He currently serves as a voting member of The Recording Academy for the Annual Grammy Awards.[3][12][13][8] Paul is credited with private performances in front of celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio, Martin Scorsese, Sean Penn, Charlize Theron, Robert Pattinson, Zac Efron, Bill Maher and Ryan Seacrest.[12][13] Paul has often fused his music, on stage, with the comedian Sinbad's performances.[12][13]
