Stamping all of his projects with not only wry wit but a flair for infectious melodies, Paul Heaton was known as the leader of U.K. college rock group the Housemartins in the mid-'80s before forming the Beautiful South in 1988. Contrasting Heaton's lyrics with a sophisticated, jazzy pop sound, that band released ten albums, reaching number one with their 1990 single "A Little Time" and the U.K. Top 15 with every single album. After they disbanded in 2007, Heaton focused on his solo career, eventually partnering with onetime Beautiful South vocalist Jacqui Abbott for 2014's What Have We Become? With nods to Motown soul and early rock & roll, the collaboration was a hit, and they went all the way to number one with 2020's Manchester Calling and 2022's N.K. Pop. While continuing to play with genre, Heaton returned with the solo outing The Mighty Several in 2024.
Paul Heaton has also released music as a member of The Housemartins, The Beautiful South The Justice Collective.
