About Mr. Elephant

Hi, I'm Paul, also known as Mr. Elephant. I'm a neurodivergent musician, early childhood educator and activist who has been an active member of the family music scene since 2020. Living with ADHD, I've been told since my childhood that I was too chaotic, too energetic, too unorganized, too crazy to reach my potential as a professional. Through my music and my speech-language therapy practice, I want to reach my fellow neurodivergent kids and families and help them feel loved, welcomed and celebrated. In my song ADHD, I want these lyrics to stick out more than any others that I've ever sung: "I love myself just for being me." Self-love and self-joy have been some of my biggest struggles throughout my life, but thanks to my friends, families and a handful of neurodiverse-affirming professionals, I've learned to love myself and "be all that I ever wanted to be" (more lyrics from my song ADHD, featured on my upcoming album A Head in the Clouds).
I also run Moyom Records (https://www.moyomrecords.com) in Oakland, CA, where I produce my own music and music videos. I also work with other local artists to realize and capture their audio-visual dreams.
I'm also a close collaborator with Devin Hollister aka De La Torre, having created an album together celebrating our love for nature and the animals within it, titled I Love Nature (https://www.ilovenature.fun). We recently won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest's Children's Song of the Year Award for our tune Little Burrowing Owl.
Thank you for taking the time to read about me and my music. I appreciate this community and love to see it continue to thrive.
Much love!
Paul
