Paul was born in Fleetwood, a fishing town, by the Irish Sea in the North of England. His family would spend weekends out on small boats or walking along the shoreline as well as climbing the mountains of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. He went on to work as Studio Manager for Tony Visconti at Good Earth Studios in London and has had a career as a sound engineer, producer, and composer/ songwriter ever since. He has collaborated with many musicians and writers, and loves the process. He is also a member of the experimental band Intimate Journals.
