Biography
Born in London, Paul started djing at the age of 17 where he came across some turntables at a house party, from that day he was hooked. In 1995 he started at Jackpot Records & 7pm Management, who were at the time agents for DJs Sasha, John Digweed, Carl Cox and Danny Howells. Whilst dabbling in some A&R, and DJ management, and getting his first taste of making his first record, Paul also became resident dj for Jackpots weekly night at Subterrania London with Danny. There after he went on to guest all over the country sharpening his skills, before hitting the International club circuit. Since then, Paul has guested all over the Globe, from playing with Danny Tenaglia & Carl Cox at the Dance Star Awards in London, supporting the Pet Shop Boys in Lisbon, Madonna's pre party in London, to over half a million people at the Love Parade in Budapest with Nick Warren.
In 2000 he hooked up with an old college friend Mark OBrien, who like Paul, was getting itchy feet to start writing music and set up a studio, so Sumsonic Recordings was born.
Pauls first single on Sumsonic "Lazy Monday" made no less than 6 compilations worldwide including Perfecto with Hernan Cattaneo. Shortly after, his best selling single on Sumsonic "Krafty" was used by Deepdish for their Toronto Global Underground compilation.
2006 saw Paul working with Sasha again, developing his Ableton live set up, and some Alternative music production for TV & Film. "Black Powder" has just been used for EA Sports game "Fifa Street 2008"
The beginning of 2008 saw Paul in Indonesia for NYE, then followed a 2 month tour of Asia, and South America. Now feet firmly back on UK soil, he's back in the studio, and working on various new projects with Pete Tong.
With tracks & remixes on over 70 compilations, Paul has become an independent record producer and engineer in his own right, with music licenses from brands such as Global Underground and Cafe Del Mar, to television adverts for Channel 4, documentaries for National Geographic and numerous links for Sky television. Now this year, his first movie which is launched on Myspace "Beyond The Rave" of which Paul has 4 alternative tracks on, one written with Sasha, and another with Pete Tong.
