A KID WITH WHAT SEEMED TO BE AN IMPOSSIBLE DREAM
THE DREAM
To tell my story through the rawness
of my songs and guitar playing
To be the voice of those who
can’t speak for themselves
To tell the world that no disability
can ever hinder one from having a dream
With a vision of vulnerability,
I hope to be in a world with songs
that sound like they’re from a beating heart
With raw of emotions channelled to every note
being screamed by our instruments, and
the vibration that shakes the room
when nothing is heard but silence
A world that shares stories
of love and loss,
of victory and defeat,
of life and living
PAUL MARNEY
An award-winning and world-class talent from the Philippines
Being born with 12 fingers, a cleft lip and palate, it was almost an impossible dream to be a performer, but the stars aligned, and at age 3, he held the microphone and made the stage his playground. He never stopped since, and represented the Philippines in various music festivals in the U.S., Singapore, and Japan, to name a few.
Today, Paul is known as one of the best blues guitar players in the Philippines, and he is now ready to share his story to the world.
