Paul Cardall
Paul Cardall battled long odds from birth, eventually triumphing over a serious heart disability to earn distinction as an outstanding composer and pianist. In 1997 he first won widespread notice by setting author Richard Paul Evans’ No. 1 NY Times best-seller The Christmas Box to music. Recognized by Steinway & Sons as one of the finest pianists in the world, Cardall’s achievements range from releasing 11 Billboard No. 1 chart-topping albums to recently winning the Gospel Music Association Dove Award for Instrumental Album of The Year for his album, Christmas. Cardall’s entrepreneurial activities include founding and directing the Stone Angel Music label and recording studio, promoting medical research, and providing scholarships for congenital heart disease through his foundation. Cardall’s music has included works for piano, vocal, band, and orchestral settings. On his latest album, Peaceful Piano, he returns to his solo performance roots while exploring complete real-time improvisation for the first time. Peaceful Piano is currently nominated by A2IM Liberia Awards for Classical Album of the Year. Cardall records for Anthem Entertainment, whose roster includes; RUSH, Timbaland, and Jose Feliciano.
