Paul Gelsomine

I am a New York native and independent songwriter, producer, with a growing catalogue. Owner of A.C.T. Entertainment Group and Essential Sound Music Publishing (Founded in 1989, affiliated with ASCAP). My catalog is 100% M / P - One-Stop. At age fourteen I started playing at yacht clubs, beach clubs and country clubs all around Long Island, making my living as a gigging drummer. In the late 60’s I became an in-demand session drummer in New York. I have recorded hundreds national jingles and commercials as well as composing production music. The trail of music soon led to Nashville, and under the guidance of Shelby Singleton (owner of Plantation Records, & eventually Sun Records) and Royce Clark (Producer for the Plantation Label) I worked as an in house session drummer. I started my production music career composing for EMI, BMG, Warner Chapel, Grappa, PolyGram and many, many, others over my 50 plus years in the business.
