Pryme Tyme or “P” the originator, founder, producer and songwriter of The Circle City Band and The Rickie Clark Company is a multifaceted artist with 31 years of professional experience in the entertainment business.
Working with some of the best musicians, producers and artists in studios and venues throughout the United States he has crafted a career centered around music.
In the seventies, he began his career, performing professionally with various R&B, Pop, Rock, Jazz and Gospel acts playing at different times bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion and vocals, while also working as a live sound and effects engineer for recording star acts Manchild, Ebony Rhythm Funk Campaign and Amnesty. In 1979 Paul was introduced to multi-track recording, enabling him to record multiple instruments separately on individual tracks. He used the creative control it provided to spend more time writing and recording, ultimately working both as a session musician and composer.
Two years later this led to a two-year road tour with LTD, the legendary late 70’s R&B band. At the end of the tour, Paul returned to Indianapolis, where the independent gospel label Tyscot Records, had started a secular R&B record division called Circle City Records. Between 1983 and 1985 Circle City Records released four of Paul’s songs as 12 inch singles. The first song “Magic” by the Circle City Band, received excellent reviews in Billboard, Cash Box and Record World music trade magazines and from national DJ record pools. It made the Top 10 list in several states and was used as the theme song for the station ID on the BET cable channel. This led to a distribution deal from Becket Records, a subsidiary label of Buddha Records.
