Paul Kleff is a rock/metal guitarist based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
As a young musician, Paul was drawn to the fire and expression of artists like Edward Van Halen, Jimmy Page and Randy Rhoads. Armed with an electric guitar, he set out to learn the styles of his heroes and began practicing and developing a lead guitar style based on both blues-influenced rock and the metal styles of his influences.
In 2011, Paul joined with guitarist Nick Layton, vocalist David Fefolt and drummer Jay Schellen in the band FireWolfe. FireWolfe's self-titled debut has received great reviews and is available through CD Baby, iTunes and was released in Japan through Rubicon Music.
Ronny Munroe (Metal Church/Trans-Siberian Orchestra) joined the band in June 2012. The band in currently recording a new release due out in 2013.
Paul’s solo CD release, titled “Machined,” is a four-song EP with two instrumental songs and two songs featuring vocalist Jerry Keyzer. Compositionally, the songs cover a wide palette of rock and metal guitar styles. Heavy, progressive instrumental metal blends with epic vocal songs with intense, melodic lead guitar to form a bold musical statement in “Machined.”
