Bio
"A Pianist On A Pilgrimage"
Paul has been playing piano since he was a small child. He was classically trained for 10 years in his youth, excelled in numerous solo/ensemble contests growing up and has been playing the organ in church congregations for over 15 years across different parts of the United States and Canada. He has lengthy experience in composition and songwriting, with 2 instrumental albums, several Contemporary Christian albums and EPs and many singles self recorded and produced. This does not include the music he has done for clients from Florida to Tennessee and Provo to the Philippines. He also loves to sing, is a classical composer and arranger, amateur guitarist, and loves jamming on drums and other percussion when he gets the chance. Growing up, he was a two-time Colorado Bandmaster Association champion with his high school marching band in 2003 and 2004 as the Pit Section Leader and sang in several church and academic choirs. He played piano, sang some lead vocals and was a songwriter in the Southern Utah University Band, Alternate Currents, served as the SUU Commercial Music Club President, won the Game Changer award with his music business at the Miller Center for Entrepreneurship Business Breakthrough, and graduated from SUU in Commercial Music with Honors, Summa Cum Laude, member Phi Kappa Phi.
The second of five children, Paul grew up in Western Colorado to Kevin and Lorchin Pulsipher. His mother is a talented violinist and all of his siblings enjoyed getting involved with music growing up as well on various instruments.
Part of Paul's creativity in music stems from spending thousands of hours coming up with what he thought were better melodies, harmonies and bass lines than he heard from songs he listened to on CDs and the radio through his childhood and writing them down when he had the chance. He has taken that ability and turned it into one of his self-produced albums, Classically Divergent, a title which nods to his being on the Autism Spectrum.
He was married to his late wife Lorraine in Canada in 2009 and looked after her extensive health care needs for 10 years before she passed away. Paul returned to the States, and was surprised when Collette Marcum expressed great interested in him and the two were married right in the middle of COVID. Collette is a talented chef, vocalist and also enjoys playing flute. You can hear her play on Paul's first 2024 single “A Walk Through Time” and sing on some of his album "Seeking For The Savior" as well as "I Got A Good One" from his EP, "The Good Life".
