Time for a new bio as of December 2, 2006)

My name is Jordan Paul but as you can see on here I go by Jordy Paul. It was first a nickname for me given by my friends, I thought it would be adequate enough for me to use it as a name that no one would be able to find me with. It did save me a couple times from embarrassment. I chose to use it because I wasn't really comfortable with people hearing my songs, they mean a lot to me and I didn't know how well it would be taken. And of course I lacked confidence and thought that all my songs sucked more than anything on the face of earth.

I had an interest for guitar around the age of 12, I didn't really have any skill until the age of 14 when I brought my guitar to camp. I played simple little one string songs and was quite happy with what I had accomplished. I kept plucking away for the years to follow I learnt a few songs here and there but I still didn't have a passion for writing music and lyrics. Until I got my first girlfriend and I attempted to blow her away with a song of how I felt about her. It wasn't too bad I don't think. That song is called I miss you. I wrote that in August 2005, and that would be the start of my music career. At the age of 17 I found it a little late for me to be starting something like this because all I had seen of musicians is that they have been doing this since they were little. Not me, and no one in my whole family has taken music into their life as much as I have.

I kept on writing, about that girl and my feelings for her, and then that ended and my life went on I still thought about love and life and everything else to go with it so more songs came and I got better at guitar and tried to get better at singing. My music was a secret to most people, only some girls knew and random people off the internet. It wasn't till about the end of high school that I had the confidence or courage to tell more people about what I do in my spare time. It was great to get it out there and that led me to working on my music more and more. It also lead me to vocal lessons,choir, and being a musician for the church I have attended ever since I was little. Now that I'm 18, out of high school and looking at my life I have chosen to keep on path with anything to do with music so in the fall of 2007 I am going to London Ontario to become and Audio Engineer at OIART (Ontario Institute of Audio Recording Technology).

My writing has been influenced by girls, friends, family, and random acts. But my style has come from a list of artist that I really enjoy and in no particular order here they are. Brooke Annibale, Jason Mraz,John Mayer, Teddy Geiger, Michelle Branch, Beck, Jet, Ben Lee, Ben Harper, Ben Kweller, The Rocket Summer, Jack Johnson, The Spill Canvs, Jamie Cullum, Incubus, Our Lady Peace, Donavon Frankenrieter, Matt Wertz, Dashboard Confesionals, Sufjan Stevens, Jupiter Sunrise, Star Field, Motion City Soundtrack, Sia, David Usher, and many more.

The future of Jordy Paul hasn't unveild its self yet, wether I'm going to be a performer with a huge record deal or will I work for a live sound company or in a studio working with some of the best names in music I don't know. But whatever it is I will be happy doing it. In the future that I do know I can tell you that I will be getting better recordings and working with more artists, I'll have new songs with new sounds and my singing will improve. I may play some shows and get more press. I might come out with a self produced compact disc (CD) maybe even some tapes. All of this takes money though so I don't know how far I'll get with it.

I'd really like to know what you think of my music, even if you don't like it. You can always contact me at jo_j_paul@hotmail.com you can add me to msn too. Or talk to me on purevolume my listeners username is jo_j_paul
