Paulie Z was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. At a very early age it was clear that music was his passions in life. Paul found his true calling when he started performing live on stage as the lead singer and guitarist in various local rock bands such as Legend, Splivey Cool and Co2. It would ultimately be the power trio ZO2, co-founded with his brother David Z, that would bring him his first taste of success. In 2004 ZO2 toured the U.S.A. with KISS and Poison and since then have released three albums and four singles. In 2008 the band landed their own TV series called Z Rock which aired for two seasons on the IFC channel. The show was based on their real life story of being rock stars at night and kids’ entertainers by day. On his own, Paulie has also starred in three rock musicals, sang the national anthem at various professional sporting events and hosted The Paulie Z Show which was a podcast on iTunes. He was even named NYer of The Week for his contribution to music education. In 2013 Paulie moved to LA and released his debut solo EP which showcased his songwriting abilities. Soon after he became the host/producer of Ultimate Jam Night, an extremely successful weekly residency at the famous Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood. He has since gone on to produce jams around the country as well as the annual all-star Jamm Night at NAMM, regarded as one of the highlights of the convention. In 2017 Paulie was recruited to be the lead singer of the legendary glam band Sweet and toured with them until 2020. In 2019 he was the music producer for The Last Movie Star starring Burt Reynolds. He also made an appearance in the movie singing one off his original songs. In 2022 and 2023 he was the associate producer for Crime Door TV Season 1-3. Most recently Paulie has taken on the role of Freddie Mercury in his new project called Bohemian Queen (Queen tribute) which is selling out venues around the country. He also fronts multiple other tributes including Zep-LA (Led Zeppelin), Purplish (Deep Purple), Separate Journeys (Journey) and more under his umbrella entertainment company Zenn Entertainment. As always, Paulie is keeping his schedule full and you’ll be able to find him onstage in some venue somewhere, singing to a crowd on their feet, lifted by the sounds of a man that knows how to use music to inspire, and elevate his audience.
