Lightning logo for Paul Marney's signature guitar, Lightning Kid.

London-based guitarist, singer, and songwriter from the Philippines who is so genuinely expressive that when he performs, he will bring your heart, soul, and whole being into a transcendental state.

His blues-rooted, soulful, and refreshingly raw talent is influenced by legends such as Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, John Mayer, Paul McCartney, and Eric Clapton.

Born with a cleft lip and palate, and 12 fingers, Paul’s journey has been more than musical. His physical and emotional scars are fuel to his artistry, giving his performances a raw, honest edge.

On stage, Paul combines technical guitar mastery with a powerful sense of storytelling. His guitar solos are both soaring and grounded, and his voice - intimate yet commanding.

Through his music, he invites listeners into a journey of healing, truth, and soulful expression.

Paul Marney & The Rascals

Originally established by Paul Marney in 2010 as the Bleu Rascals, this blues-centric band is known for their electrifying rendition of blues pieces from the classics of B.B. King to the contemporary tunes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, and John Mayer.

They represented the Philippines in various international events in the USA, Japan, and Singapore to name a few, and have worked with major corporations in their 18-year career in the industry.

support THE JOURNEY

Being an artist has been the most challenging, yet the most fulfilling journey I’ve ever been on.


Donations help with my album development, studio costs, and the time it takes to keep creating and sharing new work. More than that, they make it possible to take creative risks, explore new ideas, and continue growing as an artist.


There’s no obligation! Just being here already means a lot, but if you’d like to contribute, any amount goes directly toward sustaining and expanding my art.


Thank you for being part of the journey!
