Paul Cornish is a Los Angeles-based pianist and composer who has performed around the world with some of today’s most prominent artists across various genres, such as Joshua Redman, KNOWER, Snoh Aalegra, HAIM, Kanye West, and Terrace Martin, with whom he composed music for the 2024 Grammy-nominated EP by legendary singer-songwriter, James Fauntleroy, “NOVA.”

Hailing from Houston, Texas – where he attended the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts (HSPVA) – known for producing the likes of Robert Glasper, Jason Moran, Chris Dave, and many others, Cornish went on to be one of seven jazz prodigies worldwide selected to be awarded a full fellowship to attend the esteemed Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz at UCLA. Cornish was recently one of three finalists in the 2023 Herbie Hancock International Jazz Piano Competition, and a finalist in American Pianists Association’s Jazz Competition.
