Paul has always loved writing and performing his music for people and would often perform for visitors at his home, not always asked by his parents.
Paul has never had formal training and plays entirely by ear. His dad bought him his first electric guitar from a pawn shop in Jackson, Mississippi for Christmas when he was about 12. His father's coversation with him from that point out usually started with, "Turn that down!!" Paul was in 2 previous church bands called "Audience of One" and "Soulfire" in which he sand lead and played rhythm guitar. He was a prolific song writer even then. His songs are based primarily on his life experiences, and those of his friends.
