Nicholas Paul is a Film Composer and 3rd-year Music Technology student. He has always had a love for film, television and game soundtracks, being inspired by the likes of Hans Zimmer, Thomas Newman and Martin O'Donnell. Whilst Nicholas is a principle study Music Technology student, he strives to work alongside the other composers and showcase the best of both worlds. Nicholas has written music for various student short films, such as 'Passing' (2023), 'Ah!' (2023) and 'Old Leaf' (2023), as well as having two (so far) commissioned compositions performed at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire. Nicholas is also set to have another two original compositions, performed by 'The Sitwell Singers' and 'House of Brass' in the coming year.
Nicholas was surrounded by a musical family. His father, Richard Paul, taught singing and drums and his mother, Jane Paul, is a renowned pianist for various ballet schools around the UK. His older siblings, Elisabeth Paul and Edward Paul, both regularly perform as a choir singer and bass player respectively. Originally a pianist, Nicholas fell in love with composing during his GCSE studies, starting out writing notated works on his iPad.
