Paul Grove

Paul Grove is a keyboard player, pianist, recording engineer, songwriter, and producer for Octagon Records. With experience in diverse styles from techno and trance to classical and contemporary piano, rock and blues, to experimental jam bands, Paul has played, engineered, and produced a huge variety of music during his career. "I was probably 3 years old when I started playing piano, I remember playing 'Chopsticks' on this old player piano we had in our house. My passion for this instrument has never waned."

After 7 years of classical piano training, Paul started writing music of his own.
"My last piano teacher got me into song writing. I was getting pretty bored with the classical and contemporary piano I was learning at the time. Although I loved, and still love classical piano, I'm just not cut out to BE a classical pianist. Songwriting really, as they say, struck a chord with me."
He started playing in his first rock band in 1988, and started working full time in the music business in 1993, eventually garnering a degree in recording engineering.
"The combination of art and science is just what I am meant to do. Playing keyboards and engineering and designing new recording products is what lights my soul. I'm truly blessed to be able to do what I am meant to do, every day."
Paul is now a principal at Octagon Records (www.octagonrecords.com) as a producer, engineer, songwriter, and musician.
