Paul Prier is an unconventional musician, a sonic tightrope walker who balances between technical mastery and accessibility, between the desire to create rich, sophisticated music and the need to offer tracks that one would want to listen to on repeat, without pretension. He is an artist out of time, rooted in the present but nostalgic for a past he never knew. His music, like a beautiful piece found at the back of a flea market, could easily be perceived as a forgotten classic from the 1980s, produced during the golden age of studios with Herbie Hancock or Quincy Jones in the room next door, now resurfacing with timeless relevance. In 2024, Paul composes without concern for current trends, skillfully blending modernity with references borrowed from a bygone era.
