Artist History
Paul has been playing guitar since age 10.
At age 13 he starting playing in "Garage Bands" in Eden Prairie Minnesota with other
musical friends in the area. This also led to playing High School Talent Shows in
grades 10, 11. In grade 11 the High School Music Teacher asked Paul to join the
Eden Prairie High School Jazz Band, after seeing Paul play in the High School Talent
Show. And if you can believe it - that Jazz Director, Mr. Emmet Stark caught me and our Drummer smoking a cigarette in our hotel room at Mount Rushmore. He then kicked me out of the Jazz band and wouldn't let me play the rest of the tour! I didn't mind much, Stark was not very helpful to me musicaly, and the new guitar player they had was shall we say, moderately good :-) Paul was also accepted for Berklee College of Music in Boston but ended
up not attending.
After High School Paul continued to play in local Minneapolis bands like "Paradise",
"Mysterious Ed" and doing various studio work. Currently not signed by any labels and not currently
in any bands. I would like to find a Bass player and Drummer who would be willing to explore various styles of music, and form my own band here in Minneapolis. Although I am always working on the side with musician friends of mine. |
