JOHN PAUL

Influenced by ….
The Bristol Sound
Early House Music
Jazz Funk
Electro
Hip Hop
The Jam
Sleaford Mods
The Specials

Described as “Scargill meets Grandmaster Flash”

Played various venues from the 100 club, London to The AB Hall complex Brussels.
John Paul working alongside his producer, Rat, brings a mix of Punk and Hip Hop with a twist.
In the late 90’s Rat started his own record label – Hoofboy Records.

The new album … “Subjects” is the follow up to “No Filter”

His wordplay and observations are near exceptional and at some points, and like all good music, it nearly devours itself as it tells musical convention to get fucked.

“‘No Filter’ has for me in some ways pushed the envelope of the Workers Tale, the arrival into mid-life with its disgust for the old shit you did and the attitudes that came with all that. Its solid” – Jason Williamson / Sleaford Mods.
