Paul Lepik, a/k/a Black Paul, was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada by his adoptive parents who originated from Estonia.  From an early age, Paul showed a special interest in various musical instruments including the keyboard, guitar and saxophone.  His affinity for music was strongly encouraged by his musically inclined mother and entrepreneur father.  Along with his parents encouragement, years of formal music instruction and a sharp ear helped Paul on his musical journey.

As a young rock musician, Paul was inspired by ACDC, Van Halen, Ratt, Motley Crue, JudasPriest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Yngwie Malmstein, Whitesnake, Great White, Skid Row, Neil Young, Alice Cooper and Ozzy Osbourne.  After performing with many Vancouver-based bands, Paul formed his own bad that won a “Battle of the Bands” contest leading to his recording two songs at Little Mountain Studios in Canada.  These opportunities enabled Paul to cross paths with rock legends such as Bob Rock, Aerosmith, Darby Mills and Dee Snyder. 

After graduating from high school, Paul continued to sing and play while focusing on academics in Seattle and Europe.  Shortly thereafter, he discovered his large biological family in Bermuda, including his renowned professional singer biological father and pianist biological mother.  Finding his biological parents inspired Paul to further explore his musical abilities.  He began singing in a gospel choir, and when he reached a four and a half octave range, he knew he could apply his vocal skills to his passion for rock to create a unique sound.  His style is best described as Danzig with an edge, with the power of Phil Anselmo and a hint of Alex Mitchell.

Fusing elements of old school rock and new school soul, Paul is currently writing and recording his first explosive album, King of the Night, with songs featuring guitar marvel Jimi Bell.  The album promises to rock your world with songs like Conduit, Nothings Gonna Stop ME! and Sacred Flow, all of which have already received rave reviews from fans (through the broadjam.com site rankings) and the heavy metal industry.  Nothing can stop Black Paul, King of the Night.
