OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR THE MUSIC OF PAUL MARKLEW
This website is for grouping together Paul Marklew solo recordings
GENERAL
Lyrically, this material reflects philosophy, geo politics, science, spirituality, and self belief, among other topics. Musically, I try and develop anything that grabs me and go with it regardless of style. This makes the musical styles variable. Great pop/rock artistes in the past did this, especially acts like The Beatles, XTC, Queen, or even David Bowie.
SOLO ALBUMS
- SONGS OF FRAGRANCE (2005)
- SONGS FROM THE BRIDGE (2018)
HISTORY
In the early days, (1997 to 1999) I spent nearly three years writing and lead singing for the band Submarine UK. Regardless of how this groups material is now presented, I wrote most of the bands simple songs on an acoustic guitar and took them in to the bands rehearsals. Together, we rehearsed and rearranged these song’s for the bands sound. We recorded them and produced them as a team with Peter Clarke at the helm of production. Peter was the bands bass player, but also the recording studio’s house sound engineer and main producer.
A year or so later after the band split I had got the recording bug. In 2001, with the help of studio engineer Ian Firth, I invested in what was then ‘Cutting Edge’ ProTools recording studio computer software and I carried on creating alone musically expanding even further. The solo albums are the result.
NATIONAL RADIO AIRPLAY USA
Since around 2006 the first album has been aired on the ‘Triple A’ (AAA) ‘National Public Radio’ network, across the USA, Canada and South America. It took a few years to gain momentum and it is aired through public opinion.
I am currently working on a new batch of songs and recordings that I will release as solo album 3 in the not too distant future.
