Blackbird is a band created by Paul Hourican, a songwriter, singer and writer of sorts from Dublin Ireland currently living in New York City. 
Paul has just entered into an exclusive worldwide publishing agreement with New York and L.A. based Round Hill Music. Round Hill is home to a select group of legendary songwriters along with many of today’s top hit makers. Artists and writer’s with Round Hill include The Beatles, Bruno Mars, Andreas Carlsson, Cee Lo Green, Charlie Midnight and Randy Goodrum. Together their writer’s have penned hits for iconic performers such as Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell and James Brown whilst more recently they have produced mega hits such as ‘Billionaire’ by Travie McCoy and ‘Just The Way You Are’ by Bruno Mars.
More than anywhere this is the arena that Paul wants to enter having always referred to himself as ‘a songwriter first and a singer second’. It is a wonderful opportunity to join the ranks of some of the world’s finest songwriters and the opportunity was quickly seized upon by Round Hill Music’s CEO and founder Joshua Gruss, who upon hearing Hourican’s catalog of songs knew he had found, as he puts it, ‘a delicate, rare and very special talent’. In addition to this Paul has set up a new venture Blackbird to showcase his work as an artist in his own right which debuts with the release of the Wishing Well EP now available to purchase at the Blackbird Store.

The Wishing Well EP is the debut release from Blackbird and is currently available at the Blackbird Store online store – http://www.blackbirdsounds.com/. A debut album will follow later this year.
