Paul Louis Villani

aka The Beast!

Paul Louis Villani is an Australian Guitarist/Singer/Songwriter.
Music videos were the first real influence on Paul's wanting to become a musician, he recalls a vivid moment of clarity when he watched Jimi Hendrix set fire to his guitar during a cover of "Wild Thing".
Paul delivers an eclectic mix of emotional folk, rock, metal, acoustic/electric styles that seem to reflect current lifestyle challenges and observations.

"Since June 2025, I've been using AI to enhance and produce vocals. I've never been a great singer and thanks to tech developments I have found ways to get my vocal stems and manipulate them into something that fits my music (and pleases my ears!). Now, this may seem "old fashioned" to some but I still write and record all lyrics, music and instruments except for drums (since the eighties, any solo music I've produced the drums or percussion has always been machines, midi or samples etc.) "
