Paul DeLong has forged a career which encompasses funk, fusion, jazz and latin, and has had multi-platinum success with rock artist Kim Mitchell. He’s worked with such diverse artists as Tom Scott, Domenic Troiano, David Blamires, Colm Wilkinson, Doug Riley, Hilario Duran, David Clayton-Thomas, Roger Hodgson, and now Lighthouse, to name a few. As a Juno award winner and respected session player Paul has performed at P.I.T. and the N.A.M.M. shows in L.A., twice at the Montreal Drumfest, at the Cape Breton Drumfest, and at the Quebec Drumfest.
Paul taught part-time at Humber College in Toronto for 33 years, and has taught and performed at KOSA 2010, and at the Stickman Drum Experience in 2013. He has contributed articles for Modern Drummer magazine and has written two books, "DeLong Way To Polyrhythmic Creativity On The Drumset” and “DeLong Way to Musical Phrasing on the Drumset” which are distributed worldwide by Hudson Ltd.
Paul also has his own band – ONE WORD, which plays fusion classics by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tony Williams Lifetime, Weather Report, and Return to Forever.
Growing up, Skip Prokop was an idol and a Lighthouse poster was on his bedroom wall. He feels honoured to have become the engine that drives the band he’s always revered.
