Paul Kuhn, born on March 12, 1928, in Wiesbaden, Germany, is a pianist known for his work in jazz and pop music. At eight, he performed at the Internationale Funkausstellung Berlin playing the accordion. After studying under Kurt Thomas at the Musikgymnasium Frankfurt am Main and the Wiesbaden Conservatory, Kuhn began performing publicly as a pianist.

He gained prominence in Berlin's jazz clubs and became a composer and arranger of popular music in the 1950s.
