Dempsey formed Something For Kate back in 1994 along with school friend, Clint Hyndman. In 2001, he was named Best Male Vocalist by the readers of Rolling Stone Australia. Dempsey began writing for his solo album in 2007 and his first single, Out Of Airlock was released, initially for a free download. Later on it was available for purchase on iTunes.

In his latest album, Strange Loop, Paul Dempsey has proved yet again why his vocals and musical prowess remain unparalleled, and not just in Australia. The 11-track album is a complete show stealer and when compared to Everything Is true, is the next best thing you can listen to.
