I’ve been in the music business – as an artist, manager, and booking agent – for 30 years. My career in music journalism began in 2000 and I’ve since written extensively for Revolver, LA Weekly, LA Times, Kerrang!, Las Vegas Weekly, Metal Hammer, Dallas Observer, Metal Edge, Classic Rock and many more. In 2002 I was approached by a major record label to write some artist bios, really enjoyed the work, and it snowballed from there.

I’ve now written bios for everyone from multi-platinum household names, to cult-level indie acts, to unsigned garage bands. And as the bassist for a signed band myself, I’ve witnessed first-hand the impact my words can have on an act’s career. I relish the challenge of encapsulating an artist’s story, style and substance in just one or two pages, and find great satisfaction in creating a bio that will really be an asset in their promotional campaign – an arresting piece of writing that will get their music heard.

Bio clients have included:

PUDDLE OF MUDD (Geffen Records)

IN THE VALLEY BELOW (Capitol Records)

THREE DAYS GRACE (Jive Records)

G.E. SMITH (Saturday Night Live, Hall & Oates etc.)

LACEY STURM (Followspot Records)

THE STARTING LINE (Drive-Thru/Universal Records)

SUPERJOINT RITUAL (Sanctuary Records)

AMEN (Columbia Records)

SMILE EMPTY SOUL (Lava Records)

TRUMAN (Geffen Records)

“Paul's always a pleasure to work with - he consistently turns in bios the bands approve. Plus, should there be edits, it's no hassle.” – Erik Stein, Universal Records.

“It's important for a publicist to be confident that when a writer sits down with an artist, that writer is completely prepared to conduct that interview. Paul Rogers is always prepared: he knows his subject and asks intelligent questions that demonstrate his knowledge of the artist. He engages the artist in a CONVERSATION that results in a fascinating glimpse article or biography. He's a true pro.” – Heidi Ellen Robinson, publicist (Pixies, Slayer, Greta Van Fleet, Rick Rubin etc.)
