If you mix Sia’s emotive vocal delivery and inherent musical sensibilities with Ed Sheeran’s accessibility you’ll have a good idea of Paul Woida’s musical aesthetic.
Paul has spent the last few years in Nashville and Los Angeles working with some of the best writers and producers in the world; David Spencer (Hunter Hayes, Sam Fischer) Jeff Pardo (Grammy nominated CCM writer), and Lanni (Nickleback, Simple Plan, Juno winner) to just name a few. Paul is using that knowledge and experience now to write and produce his own songs and plans to release a song every 2/3 weeks for the next five years.
Paul’s career highlights, thus far, include selling out Edmonton’s Winspear (2019), winning Hot 107’s $10,000 dollar Hot Factor competition, placing first in the Edmonton Landmark Showcase competition, being chosen to open for Casting Crowns at the 2016 Break Forth conference and winning the 2016 Airmiles ‘Detour Big Break’ Competition which brought him to Port Hawkesbury NS to open for Meghan Trainor.
Besides playing weddings, corporate functions and clubs all over North America, Paul has played many fundraisers for the likes of hockey great, Glen Sather, and Dragons’ Den star, Brett Wilson. He’s also worked with the E Power Anti-Bullying Campaign which tours schools across Canada as well as with the Robb Nash Project super shows and school tours. To share his passion for people, Paul has participated in various youth empowerment benefit concerts and spent time in China in November 2017 with We Stand, a youth leadership summit. Lastly, Paul is part of the Edmonton United Way Campaign having co-written and participated in their popular 2016 campaign video. Paul’s passion is music and that passion is fueled by his love for people. Paul wants to inspire and be a positive role model for people of all ages.
His desire is to help them see that dreams are achievable if you work hard and keep striving!
