PAUL CECCHINELLI

When you talk musicianship, there is no greater talent than Paul Cecchinelli.
This is verified via his extensive professional accomplishes, including playing for some of the greatest music names in Australia, on the greatest live and broadcast stages, as his CV attests to. 

I have been lucky enough to have Paul play with my band as a brilliant keyboard player and backing vocalist for over 10 years, at some of the biggest corporate event stages across the country for both Australian and multinational companies. I have also worked closely with Paul as he produced 2 of my albums. Not only his electronic producing and sequencing skills, but also his ability to play virtually every instrument known to the music world. I have no doubt he could even play a pixie harp should I release a Celtic album... I digress. 

Paul’s success however can not only be attributed to his talent, but also his professional conduct, knowledge and initiative. For someone like me who performs across the country from the largest corporate event stages to the smallest intimate business dinners, these attributes are paramount to working with an eclectic mix of clients and sized events. Someone who can easily adapt to a differing audience night after night, and understand the music and entertainment elements required with ease are some of the great music industry qualities Paul possesses. 

I would without hesitation recommend Paul Cecchinelli for all event and entertainment opportunities for not only his musical and vocal abilities, but his ease, adaptability and professionalism. No stage is too great or too small for Paul, but all would be better for having him play

I have worked with Paul Cecchinelli for many years in his various capacities as a Musical Director and as a multi-talented musician and songwriter. I first met Paul through Kate Ceberano and worked with him frequently during the time that I was her manager. Paul was an integral member of her band, his contributions were much valued and he gave his all when working with Kate, as he does with all projects he is part of. 

Over the years Paul and I have worked closely on some wonderful shows, including the musical narrative “Tapestry – the Songs of Carole King” and the annual “Apia Good Times Tour” featuring legends of Australian music. Paul was Musical Director for both of those shows, assembling and directing the band as well as working closely with the producers to devise the set lists and look after the musical aspects of the shows. 

Paul is an all-rounder. A terrific musician to start with, he can perform in any format from solo to large band line up. He is creative and versatile. He is easy to work with, gets on well with everyone and is a pleasure to deal with. Paul is one of the most talented, reliable and professional musicians I have ever worked with, and I would recommend him for any type of musical engagement.
