Hailing from Sheffield and proud of his deep Italian heritage, Paul Pashley is a versatile and dynamic artist celebrated for his captivating vocals and unforgettable live performances. A standout on BBC’s The Voice, Pashley has carved a unique path in the modern swing scene, redefining the genre with a fresh, authentic approach that blends timeless classics, contemporary hits, and original material delivered with unmistakable style and flair.
Far from a production-line crooner, Pashley brings bold, eclectic energy to the stage — reinventing past and present Swing and Big Band classics with a modern edge while remaining deeply respectful of the music’s heritage. His shows move seamlessly from iconic standards to dancefloor favourites, from his own heartfelt original songs to contemporary hits reimagined in his signature swing style, creating an experience that is at once nostalgic, vibrant, and utterly new.
This distinctive approach has made him a sought-after performer on some of the world’s most prestigious stages and at exclusive events for high-profile audiences. Highlights include entertaining England captain Wayne and Coleen Rooney at their highly publicised Italian wedding, celebrating Sir Alex Ferguson at numerous private occasions including a 50th anniversary, performing for members of the British royal family, and sharing the stage with industry heavyweights such as Gary Barlow, tenor Alfie Boe, and will.i.am in Beverly Hills. For seven seasons, Pashley was the voice of high-end hospitality for Manchester United’s VIP sponsors and affiliates pre covid, travelling with the club worldwide — from Los Angeles to Hong Kong and everywhere in between — bringing his signature sound to global audiences.
Alongside his own recording and live projects, Pashley is a featured guest vocalist with The International Film Orchestra, performing regularly in major UK venues and theatres, and has been specially invited to guest with the world-famous Syd Lawrence Orchestra, a rare honour that reflects his reputation in the swing world. His artistry and professionalism have earned him collaborations with luxury brands including Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Rolex, Hilti, and Herbalife, while his music enjoys airplay on respected UK stations such as Jazz FM and BBC Radio 2. Behind the scenes, he has worked with Grammy-winning producer Eliot Kennedy (Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion), Billboard-charting artist Steve Edwards, and recorded original songs penned by music legends Gary Barlow and Bryan Adams
A genuine independent artist with a global outlook, Pashley continues to evolve his sound. His acclaimed EP Learn to Flyand debut album More showcase his versatility as both a singer and songwriter. His forthcoming project, Swing’s A 21st Century Thing, captures him at his finest — fronting a powerhouse big band, recorded live, raw, and unfiltered — proving that for Paul Pashley, swing isn’t stuck in the past: it’s alive, evolving, and ready to captivate a new generation.
