NZ is thrilled to confirm that British star
Paul Potts will be performing in Auckland,
New Zealand on the 6th of May at Pullman Auckland Hotel.
The Bristol-born, Port Talbot-residing tenor, for whom singing has always been a haven and a source of joy, is living his dream. Socially awkward, bullied and taunted at school, singing in his local church choir proved to be a sanctuary from the playground abuse. Listening to La Boheme, aged 16, Paul fell in love with opera, a romance that was to set him on a turbulent journey that would eventually lead to him performing on, and winning, the first series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2007.
Truly a life-changing event, he released his debut album ONE CHANCE that year, topped the charts in 13 countries (including the UK), appeared on Oprah (twice), brought Times Square to a standstill, announced a world tour and became a household name in cities from Seoul to New York and Sydney to Hamburg. Paul’s story has since inspired the Weinstein-produced Hollywood film ‘One Chance’ starring James Corden in the lead role, with Paul writing the accompanying autobiography.
With sales of more than 5 million multi-platinum records and in excess of 600 concerts in the last 6 years under his belt, Paul Potts will be releasing his most diverse album yet – HOME through Sony Music Entertainment on May 1st.
HOME is a collection of 14 songs and sees Paul embracing his love of music of all genres. Working with long-time musical director Chris Taylor,Paul has made a record without rules, one that celebrates the beauty of the song and the power of the voice.
“Music is home to me – always has been, and always will be”- Paul Potts
iHeartRadio NZ and Coast are giving people the chance to hear songs from HOME for the first time live at an intimate showcase in Auckland in May. This is a money can’t buy experience and will be a truly magical evening.
