BIO

Paul Psarras is a Bay Area recording artist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer crafting sharp, sophisticated pop built on a foundation of virtuosic musicianship and global tradition.

Formally trained at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music—where he earned two degrees in classical performance—Psarras marries elite technique with worldly melodic influences, drawing heavily on his Greek heritage and traditional instrumentation. The result is a lean, driving dark-pop sound: intelligent guitar arrangements, atmospheric synth production, and commanding vocal hooks engineered with restraint and precision. Fully self-written, arranged, and produced, Psarras’s work represents a refined, modern vision for pop. www.paulpsarras.com
