Australian Songwriter and Producer, Paul Kneipp
Professional musician at 15. Songwriter and Producer at 27.
The story of Paul Kneipp is one of a person singularly devoted to excellence in music, whether performing, composing, producing or developing artists.
Born in Townsville, Queensland Paul left home to play drums at just 16 and went on to perform all over Australia, the U.S., Germany and New Zealand with charting Australian and overseas artists. Paul completed Jazz Studies at the NSW Conservatorium of Music in between touring and recording with various artists and theatre shows. Some highlights included:
* Seals and Crofts * Leon Berger * Sharon O''Neill * Marcia Hines * Jaco Pastorius * Rick Price * Danny LaRue * Rolf Harris * "Blood Brothers" (starring Russell Crowe) * "Are You Lonesome Tonight" (starring Martin Shaw) * "Chess" *"Late Night With Jonno & Danno " (weekly TV show starring Jonathan Coleman) * Marc Hunter * Tim Finn * America.
After studying drums in Los Angeles, Paul traveled across the continent to play at The Worlds Fair in New Orleans. It was during this period that he became interested in production and song writing.
Upon returning to Australia, Paul worked with singer Chrissy Moy and the pair soon had a recording contract with legendary Australian label Festival Records. The pattern of finding and developing artists, writing songs and producing them to then secure a record deal is one that Paul has copied successfully, many times.
Paul was the driving force behind The Robertson Brothers and negotiated a record deal for the group with BMG. The Robertson Brothers were nominated for an ARIA award as Best New Artist and the first single ''I Know Why'' written and co-produced by Paul, made the top forty in Australia. Paul wrote four songs for the album which gained air play in Asia, the U.K., Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South America and a number one in Lebanon. The Robertson Brothers and Paul toured Germany in the summer of 1995 as the support act for the group America.
From working with young artists in his own studio, Paul has developed a technique of writing songs that highlight the artists'' own style in recording and video. PK Music''s first independent single was for fourteen-year-old singer Christine Toseski. The pop/dance single ''2nd Skin'' (Kneipp/Moy) gained airplay on Australia''s national radio network as well as internet and college radio stations in Russia, USA and UK.
Held in high regard by his music industry associates, Paul Kneipp has the reputation of a hard working and creative professional with an original and successful song writing style.
