Artist's Biography

Paul Robert Thomas writes songs the way some people keep journals — quietly, honestly, and with a kind of unguarded clarity that feels almost rare these days. A lifelong wanderer between folk traditions and modern acoustic storytelling, Thomas has carved out a voice that is both intimate and expansive, rooted in lived experience yet open to the wide sky of imagination.

His music carries the fingerprints of the great folk troubadours, but he never imitates them. Instead, Thomas leans into the gentle imperfections of real life: the half‑remembered conversations, the long walks home, the small victories that matter more than the big ones. His vocals have a soft-weathered warmth, like a familiar friend settling into the chair across from you, and his guitar work moves with the ease of someone who has spent years letting melody guide the way.

What sets Thomas apart is his ability to make the personal feel universal. He doesn’t chase spectacle; he chases truth. And in doing so, he creates songs that feel like companions — steady, thoughtful, and quietly luminous.


About the Album

*Some Folk* is Thomas at his most distilled — a collection of songs that feel hand‑stitched, each one carrying its own small world of stories, reflections, and gentle revelations. The album leans into the timeless qualities of folk music: simplicity, sincerity, and the power of a well‑told tale.

Across the record, Thomas explores the people who shape us, the moments that linger, and the quiet corners of life where meaning tends to hide. The arrangements are understated but rich, built on acoustic textures, soft harmonies, and the kind of production that lets every breath and string ring true.

There’s a warmth running through *Some Folk*, a sense of gratitude for the ordinary lives that often go unnoticed. It’s an album that invites listeners to slow down, breathe, and remember the beauty in the small things.

My name is Paul Robert Thomas (a.k.a. Paul Thomas a.k.a. 'Paul Lyricist') & I am a song lyricist (try saying that after a few beers:)! I was born & grew up in North London with Camden Town, Swiss Cottage, Primrose Hill & Regents Park as my playgrounds. I have some Welsh blood in me too as my mother & grand mother were from Wales.

My musical & lyrical roots are drawn from English Folk, American Folk & Blues, Christian/Gospel with influences from English nursery rhymes and church hymns. I am always writing song lyrics and I believe that the act of creation, in this instance creating songs, is a gift from God!

I have worked with, worked for and met many famous people from The Queen to Presidents and I'm really not easily impressed by titles, what matters most is who you are, not what you are or what title you hide behind! I will consider working with any artist as long as they are honest, polite and considerate and can make good music (except any music that promotes violence and death). These are the main traits I look for in a song collaboration, and I work with artists from all over the globe irrespective of race, gender or religious views. I will only work with people who have manners and are looking to share 50/50, I detest and have no time for those many in the 'music world' who are looking to make a 'fast buck' on the back of someone else!

My main music site is at https://www.paullyrics.com where you can see examples of my song collaborations and work and also see details of official releases which include over 30 albums to date:-

I am an 'Independent artist' although I am attached to different record labels and publishers with previous releases but I am still classed as being an 'Independent artist'.
