What sets Kevin apart is his unique musicality, his understanding of new recording techniques and tools and his deep rooted knowledge, vocabulary and passion for traditional, high-quality, “old-school” sound engineering – all this makes him a rare hybrid that excels in any situation and will take projects to the next level while respecting the artist and his work.

Kevin is quick, adaptive and emphatic and can work with the most challenging of deadlines and the most demanding of artists.

"Music is my love and passion“ states Kevin Paul. At the age of 13 he became obsessed with electro and hip-hop culture within the underground graffiti community in mid-80’s England. He was one of London’s original graffiti artists and witnessed its transformation from anti-establishment to mainstream culture. It was within this culture that he decided to have a career in art and music.

At 18 he fell in love with 'house' music, which was another inspiration, expanded his DJ-skills and continued to hone his craft as a musician and artist.

As DJ „Heavy Kev“, he then discovered sound engineering and immediately knew this to be his true calling. He obtained a list of recording studios from APRS and called them all until he got to the letter „S“.

In 1991, “the numerous rejections and interviews paid off”, when he got a job at Soho Studios in London. He used this position to develop a profound understanding of equipment and techniques. Six months later, he got a job at Konk Studios.

At Konk, he worked alongside a bevy of successful producers and engineers such as Bob Clearmountain, Adam Mosley, Pascal Gabriel and Gil Norton, as well as bands such as The Kinks, Galliano, Terrorvision, UFO and Elastica.

After working on archiving the Depeche Mode back catalogue in 1994, he was offered an engineering role at Mute Records’ in-house studio, which eventually lead to a position as Head Engineer, where his varied talents as a mixer, recording engineer and programmer gave him access to the entire Mute Records roster.

Highlights included mixing Goldfrapp’s „Felt Mountain“ (Mute, 2000, gold in UK, Mercury Prize in 2001), which was included in Robert Dimery’s book „1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die“ in 2006, and ranked at No. 16 on The Times 2009 list of 100 best pop albums of the 2000’s.

Others include David Bowie’s „Hours“ (2001 – Bowie’s 21st studio album) and Nick Cave’s „No More Shall We Part“, his 11th studio album in the same year, along with mixing for British indie labels MoWax, who were at the forefront of trip-hop and alternative rap and Cup Of Tea Records, fusing jungle to hip-hop, and jazz funk to dub.

Mute’s DVD interests made him move into 5:1 Surround Productions. His initial assignments included mixing Moby’s „Hotel“, Goldfrapp’s „Black Cherry“ and many more.

In 2004 Kevin went freelance and re-mixed the entire Depeche Mode and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds back catalogues for SACD/DVD.

Since 2008, Kevin Paul has been in charge of mixing and remixing the exclusive performances at the coveted iTunes Festival UK and Germany events. He has mixed over 100 artists to date, including: Adele, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, The XX, Calvin Harris, Foo Fighters, Jack White, Linkin Park, Florence & The Machine, Deadmau5, David Guetta, Jessie J., Norah Jones, Oasis, Mumford & Sons, N.E.R.D., Lykke Li, James Blunt, KT Tunstall, Hot Chip, Paul Weller and many more.

He continues to record, engineer, produce and mix many projects in music and film, runs the mixing and surround mixing modules for the Masters Degree course at UK’s Westminster University and divides his time between London and Berlin. Recent works include the International selling new album by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and mixing the latest album of Denmark’s “Dúné” with the first single premiering at the Danish Music Awards as well as recording and mixing the latest incarnation of the iTunes Music Festival.

He has two studios he works out of mostly but is also available to record on location.
