Paul Pacifico

Originally from London, England, Paul Pacifico grew up in a musical family being taught the violin by his grandfather from the age of 3, he then started learning the alto saxophone from the age of 13 and picked up a blues harmonica at the age of 15 which became his main instrument. He played harmonica in bands throughout his university years, but decided against becoming a musician straight after graduation. Instead, he spent almost 10 years working first in banking in the City of London and then strategy consultancy before embarking on a career in the music industry.

Paul Pacifico manages The AllStars Collective though his company, Specific Music, which creates and delivers music for brand campaigns and one-off events, often involving multiple guest artists. Clients include Aston Martin, EMI, Hard Rock Cafe and charity Save The Children.

Pacifico currently also plays harmonica in Pacifico Blues, a contemporary London Blues band. Their first album, 'One More Party' is due out in Autumn 2013.

As a blues harp player, Pacifico has performed with a number of different artist, notably Alfie Boe, James Cotton, Dr John, Jocelyn Brown, Adam Gussow, Ronnie Wood, Maceo Parker, KT Tunstall, Jools Holland and Jim Mullen.
