Paul
Cusick ( aka Q ), British born multi-instrumentalist,
started his solo music career in 2009 with the
release of his début album Focal Point.
Previously Paul had spent years as the lead guitarist
in several bands (Gabriel, Ripped & Riversea),
but in 2008 his new year's resolution was to step
out from behind his guitar and concentrate on
his own song writing and production skills.
Following
the success of his début album "Focal
Point", and motivated by his facebook fans
requests for more music, Paul built his own studio
and recorded his second solo album "P'dice"
between January and November 2011.
Paul's
guitar style has been compared David Gilmour,
Steve Hackett, Steve Rothery and Steven Wilson.
His songs draw upon the sounds and audio landscapes
created by bands such as Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel,
Porcupine Tree and Nine Inch Nails. However, the
long instrumental pieces that are sometimes associated
with the progressive rock genre have been replaced
by catchy vocal melody lines akin to those evoked
by more mainstream rock artists such as Coldplay
and Radiohead.
Paul
is a truely independent artist. He writes, produces
and plays all the instruments himself, (except
drums) and releases his music through his own
label Q Rock Records.
