Paul Lemire

Paul Lemire is a self-taught acoustic guitar player from Montreal, Canada who didn't start playing, writing or performing until he was 23 years old. He would get home from his dull office job and ask himself, "is this it?" After seeing hundreds of live music concerts he decided to buy a guitar, teach himself to play, and because he couldn't play other people's songs at first he had to write his own so that he could get out on the stage and perform. Since then, he's written two CD's and won three songwriting awards in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. He's now a full-time musician playing all over Southern California. Paul is 33 years old.
