Pipsy

Bio

Paul Pouwels McMillan’s love of music began when at the age of ten, they found an old forgotten guitar at their family home. They started teaching themselves to play, jamming along to classic records from the likes of The Beatles, Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones and the theatrical guitar solos of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Pouwels McMillan went on to study at Otago University, where they were awarded a PhD in Music following the completion of their 80,000 word thesis focusing on the Dunedin music industry. At the same time they joined ?tepoti’s vibrant indie scene, performing in groups like Two Cartoons and Males, as well as producing albums for bands such as the Julian Temple Band.

In 2016, while in Melbourne Australia, Pouwels McMillan began writing as Pipsy, going on to release two EPs, 2018’s Users and 2020’s Toronto.

Pipsy has performed throughout North America and Australia, and after returning to Aotearoa in 2021 they toured extensively throughout the motu. The band have become a favourite to support local heritage acts, and tour in 2022 with The Jordan Luck Band.

Outside of Pipsy, Pouwels McMillan works as a Senior Academic Advisor for the College of Creative Arts at Massey University, and is a keen fan of Basketball, supporting the Toronto Raptors.
