Let's make this birthday one to remember.

49 years old (Born on November 25, 1975)

Happy Birthday, Paul Mealor! May your special day be filled with joyful harmony—although please don't feel obliged to compose a rapid-hit choral masterpiece in celebration. After all, not every birthday can match the majestic heights of "Wherever You Are." We’d sing it ourselves right now—but possibly best leave that to you and actual trained choirs.

Your ability to evoke emotions through beautiful compositions continues inspiring millions worldwide—I mean, who else could make Christmas number-one hits out of heartfelt letters from Afghanistan? Here's hoping this year conducts for you an orchestral crescendo filled with laughter, musical brilliance and endless cake!
