Paul Williams

Biography edit

Paul Williams (aka Terry Day) studied at the Royal College of Music and Jesus College, Cambridge.[1] While attending university, he teamed up with Roger Wornell, and under the pen names of Paul de Schroder and Lee Lenrow, they found a local rock and roll group called "The Phantoms", write songs for them, and arranged to be "discovered" by Pallette records. Their first record, "Phantom Guitar" and "Cachina" is now recognised as a classic of its genre. He has been composing since the age of eight and plays a variety of keyboard instruments. Williams has also worked as a session musician with numerous bands and orchestras, and has more recently worked with Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music fame.

Williams also composes for major international publishing companies, including Carlin Music, Sound Stage, Parry Music and Zomba Production Music with over 1300 titles published. His compositions range from the horrifying, through the romantic, into high-tech. Paul has also worked at BBC Radios 1 & 2 with many major production credits.

Williams lives in Cheam.[1]
