Paul Freeman

Paul Freeman is a Welsh singer and musician. Early life Freeman was born in South Wales. He found his first guitar atop a dumpster, although his parents and grandparents bought the 12-year-old Freeman a new six-string and a book of chords the following Christmas. Freeman's first song came two years later, an ode called "Some Day." Freeman contends that he is completely self-taught as a musician. During high school, Freeman worked at Linford Manor, a recording studio in Great Linford, where he says he taught himself to play piano. Said Freeman: "There were all these wonderful instruments lying around. I would never go to bed, I would just stay up and play them. What really got me into playing the piano was having access to the grand piano at the studio." Career Freeman moved first to London and became a guitar player for James Blunt. Freeman moved to Santa Monica, California, after reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck. "This Steinbeck book was so inspiring, because it's so detailed and vivid. I moved months after that.". Six months after emigrating, Freeman released an EP.
