Paul Austin Kelly has had a musical career spanning the stylistic spectrum.  As an operatic tenor, he sang leading roles at the New York Metropolitan Opera, the Royal Opera, and La Scala.  As a crossover singer he performed with the Kenny Clayton Trio, toured as guest artist with Lesley Garrett, and made numerous appearances on BBC radio.  Paul also formed his own children’s music company, Walking Oliver, produced a catalogue of CDs, and has amassed a huge repertoire of his own instrumental and vocal music recorded at his home studio in Sussex.

For Allegro Media Group, Paul produced several CDs, including Hawaiian music, Blues, and Christmas songs.  For many years, he has been a leading composer for EECI Publishing, writing and recording songs for Korean children learning English.  In addition, he has recorded for several other companies, including Online Session Singer, and Stiching Global Kids Show.

Facile in a wide range of musical styles, Paul is comfortable writing and recording in such genres as classical, pop, folk rock, jazz, gospel, electronica, and of course, music for children.

An American expat, Paul has been living in the UK for the past 16 years.
