Originally from Honolulu, Prince, a composer, engineer and occasional instrument maker, plays acoustic in a very creative way, summoning a full sound with innovative techniques, intricate counterpoints, rich chords, melodies, harmonics, and powerful rhythm. Paul’s experiences of recording, performing and touring has given him a unique appreciation, grounding and talent for inspiring melodies, finding different ways of blending the guitar with mbira(s) and ngoni in duets, trios, ensemble, and solo works. Passion for his self-made instruments, an ear for melody, and dedication have allowed Prince to forge a mysteriously inspired path towards his dream of a unique guitar sound while his singular approach frees the guitar to speak in new languages. Paul performs solo and on occasion in a trio in the Northwest, playing African guitar, Django swing, Ragtime, Soukous, Hendrix, and Hawaiian slack key.
