So, who is Paul Ponnudorai?
Paul PonnudoraiPaul Ponnudorai’s uniqueness in approaching music is embedded in his geographical roots. Being Malaysian by birth, being of Indian heritage, and being trilingual, Paul represents both as a person and a musician the point of conjunction between East and West. He is a man of rare intelligence, wisdom, and broad knowledge, with a cross-cultural view of the world. Without a doubt these qualities surface in his music, whose origins can equally be traced to Southern India, London and Nashville. It is refreshing to notice how many seemingly unrelated influences can go into Paul’s playing and singing, always in the most spontaneous and sincere way.
Some of Paul's friends and jam partners include Tommy Emmanuel, Tuck and Patti, Winton Marsalis, and many more. His musicianship is well beyond the borders of imaginable, and make him a true legend in the music scene of South-East Asia. Paul lives between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore and has performed all over the world--Australia, New Zealand, China, Europe.
Paul’s love for jazz, country, rock, blues, pop, reggae, and for beautiful ballads, is obvious all through his new release, "Right on Time". So are his talent and his unique voice as a musician.
