The last two years have been an epic journey of incredible hard work and dedication for Paul Potts.His debut album One Chance sold over three and a half million albums, rocketed to the number one spot in 15 countries (including the UK, Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and Mexico) and stormed to the top 10 in a further eight. In the UK, his album outsold the entire top 10 collectively in its first week.
January 2008 saw him embark on a world tour with 55 dates but as his popularity soared more dates were added and he completed over 100 sell out shows in concert halls, arenas and stadiums around the globe.
Winner of ‘Best International Artist 2009’ at the prestigious Echo Awards in Germany, Paul has also become a YouTube sensation and to date has had over 74 million hits charting his meteoric rise to fame. In Germany, Paul has spent an astounding 7 weeks at 1 and 23 weeks in the Top 10.
His second album ‘Passione’ is now on sale. Overflowing with his passionate, inimitable style combined with impeccable technique; Paul is touching more hearts with his enchanting, classical voice.
The new album was almost a year in the making and showcases his stunning work. Working with an array of world acclaimed producers, composers and European orchestras, Paul returns with a new found confidence and vigour that leaves no doubt as to his incredible talent.
‘Passione’ includes a mixture of original material along with breathtaking classics including the haunting ‘La Prima Volta (The first Time I saw your Face)’ and ‘Memory,’ the ageless classic written and composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. The album also features the showstopper ‘E Lucevan Le Stelle’, one of the most emotional songs in Puccini’s Opera, ‘Tosca’. The haunting melody and Bass clarinet in ‘E Lucevan Le Stelle’ are what drew Paul to the aria and is one of his all time favourites.
Paul's second world tour will see him perform again in Australia, USA, Canada, Europe, South America and Asia. Please see the dates section for full details.
