Vocal delivery and stage presence are of the utmost importance to Paul, in every performance. His passion for music and song has become the driving force, behind his ambitions.
P.J Stokes' ability to capture an audience is exceptional. His personality & vocal talent is truly amazing. He has a 4 octave range and a powerful high falsetto voice that is second to none. Paul's ability to switch from a "low full vocal" straight into a powerful high falsetto can only be compared with the dulcet tones of such legends like; "The Temptations, The Stylistics, Marvin Gaye, Earth Wind And Fire," and many more from the Soul/ Motown era. This vocal talent, coupled together with his great stage presence has proven to be his trade mark, and is the reason why he is considered to be............
“ONE OF THE VERY BEST VOCAL ENTERTAINERSAROUND TODAY”
Paul couldn't have been any better. His performance at my Dads 70th bash was flawless. We'd seen his performances on YouTube so we knew how good he was but the look on the guests faces as he started singing, one by one turning their heads looking to the stage in shock at how good the singing was, he really is that good. From then on the party went to a whole new level. He was friendly, professional and very accommodating. If you're looking for a singer to make your event a night to remember, Paul is your man.
Thanks for everything Paul!
Amazing singer and made my daughters wedding even more special, would highly recommend and will definitely be booking Paul again. Thank you so much xx
