My Life & Work
- Bio: Paj is the result of a life shared through music. Led by singer & guitarist Paddy Groenland and his band of superlative musicians - past and present members of Irish trailblazers Hozier, Loah, Ensemble Eriu, Manden Express, Nava, Zaska & Fehdah - Paj's songs emerge from soul, jazz & world music, divulging memories of living in USA, Brazil & West Africa... Imagine Jeff Buckley, Thundercat & Frank Ocean taking turns to discuss Joni Mitchell, while being recorded by Alan Lomax.

Quotes, Notes & Etc.
"As a musician with Ensemble Eriu, RiZa and Feather, Groenland is no stranger to global sounds and new ways of using them. The lead track on his new Nativism EP (“a reference to the current global struggle for identity and ownership”), is a beautiful guitar piece that has an African, jazz, blues and folk in its DNA."
