There’s a new kid on the block in South Africa, and he’s bringing back classic pop.
Born and raised in Cape Town, Thomas Paul’s journey into music was seamless. He began playing piano at just four years old, going on to play in school bands and sing in choirs and ensembles.
Inspired by contemporary stars like Benson Boone and Myles Smith, Paul crafts infectious pop tracks, balanced by upbeat energy and raw emotion. And his debut single “Holding On” is the perfect iteration of his flourishing musical style.
After picking up buzz on TikTok, Paul caught the attention of producers Devon Murray and Aidin Nortje – known for their incredible work with local stars Ben Rodrigues and Eva Marie – who helped bring this brilliant track to life.
The result is an expert, classic pop ballad, weaving harmonic depth with poignant lyrics about love, loss and resilience. And Paul is poised to go much further, we can already tell you that much.
