Background
Paul McBride is a professional songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and artist with over 30M streams, a Billboard #1 Record and a history of major deals with the same labels as The Rolling Stones, Billie Eilish, and Eminem.
He's toured many countries around the world, playing dive-bars to arenas, Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, SXSW, Alexandra Palace and the Royal Albert Hall and has worked with hundreds of artists including Miley Cyrus, The Kooks, Brandon Flowers, Stereophonics, Basement Jaxx and Michael Kiwanuka.
"My journey has been a mix of huge wins and painful failures.
I know what it’s like to chase the wrong opportunities, waste years of life and learn the hard way.
But I also know what it's like to accept help, knuckle down and achieve the goals many just dream about.
That’s why I mentor.
For the past 5 years, I’ve been helping artists cut through the noise, build real fanbases and find clarity in an industry full of confusion.
I've also grown over 60K followers on TikTok in the last year as "The Scouseness" and maintained over 70K followers on IG over the past 9 years.
Whether you need feedback on your songs, social media strategy or a step-by-step plan to grow your career, I’ll guide you through it all with honesty, accountability and a system that works."
