| Paul Ponnudorai | Paul 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. Sincerity is nonetheless the main trait of Paul Ponnudorai's life and music. His big heart and warm soul come clearly to light in his music, which displays the whole range of human emotions, being at times sad and low, at other times permeated by an irresistible sense of humor. A sense of humor that, incidentally, is a special gift given only to those artists who are too good to bother with taking themselves too seriously. Paul Ponnudorai uses the Maestro EJ-3 cutaway. You can find him performing at Harry's @ Esplanade on Thursday to Saturday weekly from 10pm onwards. Check out TIME magazine's online article about Paul Ponnudorai. |
