Smile! & Lockdown Variations EPs on all main digital platforms

I am Paul Douglas, an English musician based near Nottingham. I am a pianist, guitarist, singer and songwriter/composer, and have been writing music since my teenage years. During the last couple of decades, I have played in several rock/pop covers bands, performing many gigs including several in Western European countries such as Belgium, France and Switzerland.

I have a YouTube channel, where I make music related videos including tutorials on music software, equipment, how to play songs and similar topics. You can also find musical performances of mine on there, and my own original music. Subscribe here.

During 2020 and the CoronaVirus lockdowns, determined to produce something positive out of that most troubling of years, I wrote and recorded two debut EPs in two distinctly different styles….

Smile! is a rock EP of 5 songs (“rock” in the loosest sense of term; only 2 of the songs are out-and-out rock songs), very guitar driven with all songs sung by me.

Lockdown Variations is an instrumental EP based around the piano with underlying beats and other textures, intended to be a “chill” album to listen to while reading, studying or maybe even relaxing in the bath!
