Hi, been posting for a couple of days already on the song reviews and realised I should have said hi here.
This forum is a wish-come-true for me - I've been looking for a while for a place to swap constructive ideas and get feedback from other songwriters, but the others I'd found were either paid-for commercial models or too much about competition and self-promotion, so super happy to have landed here.
I'm Pauly (normally Paul but Tina told there are loads of Pauls already so I'll stick with the extra Y...), live in Brighton UK, and have been writing songs forever but upped the output a lot in the last couple of years. I write for Elastic Justice, 4 guys who used to house share in Clapham and now we live variously in Brighton, Miami and San Fran, but we file share over the interweb using Logic to get our stuff finished. Biggest influences are probably the Kinks, Madness, Blur... that kind of British story-telling angle, with a bit of Floyd and Bowie around the edges. It is super to be amongst you. PAULY
