Paul Draper is a talented vocalist, guitar player, and songwriter known for his work with the band Mansun. In addition to his musical abilities, he is also a skilled sound engineer and producer. He owns his own record label and has released two EPs in 2016. His debut solo album was released in 2017.
With influences ranging from Suede to Manic Street Preachers, Paul Draper's music captures the essence of Britpop and alternative rock. Fans of Bernard Butler, Longpigs, and The Bluetones will find something to love in his unique sound.
As an artist who wears many hats, Paul Draper continues to impress with his versatility and passion for creating exceptional music. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to his work, you won't be disappointed by what this multi-talented musician has to offer.

As the frontman and songwriter of one of the most iconic bands of the late '90s, the creative force that brought the classic hit single Wide Open Space and the Number 1 album Attack Of The Grey Lantern with Mansun, Paul Draper's talent preceeds him. Debut solo album Spooky Action features the glistening synthetic soul single Things People Want and warped voodoo psych grat-track Don't Poke The Bear. Lyrically, it’s a biting and brutally honest record – an autobiography set to captivating and addictive melodies. Taking its cue from the two EPs and recorded in collaboration with Catherine AD (The Anchoress) and long timeMansun collaborator P Dub, the record’s eleven tracks also veer through genres, from the warped, razored rock'n'rollin Grey House to the glorious widescreen analogue pop of Jealousy Is A Powerful Emotion. Spooky Action represents Draper's strongest, most consistent set of songs to date – a lifetime’s work condensed into just over an hour of perfectly formed music.
