About Me

MyGen Profile Generator

Hi and thanks for stopping by! I am a drummer based in Perth. I get called on for live performances, showcases, touring, and recording by leading Pop, Country, and Rock music Artists. By day I record and produce up and coming artists in my own recording 'suite'. By night I am playing regularly for Andrew Winton, Tin Dog, and Chris Murphy. I love to play drums not just for the drumming but for the great people I meet, places I get to travel, venues I get to play, and brilliant artists I get to play with. This is some of the nice stuff people I have worked with have said:

'On stage, Paul has a great sense of understanding and leadership that I rely on to assist in communicating with my audience, and he'll catch anything spontaneous I throw his way. Off stage, he's easygoing and valuable to have on the team.' Adam Brand: Popular Country Music Performer

'Paul is such an easy musician to work with! Enthusiastic and open, he is a breath of fresh air particularly when workshopping arrangements for original songs. He brings weight, strength, passion and character to everything he contributes to. Thanks Paul!' David Moyse: Producer, Veteran Guitarist (Air Supply)

'Novo is unique... he'll rock like the best of them, then play the mood... then rock again. Great drummer!' Michael Carr: Respected Performer and Songwriter

'... think of Animal from the Muppets... shaved.' Dr Teeth: Electric Mayhem

'Paul equals any A level session drummer I have heard in Nashville in tones, creativity, feel, and pure tightness. And he's a great guy to boot.' Ainslie Grosser: Manager/ A&R Elevate Records, Nashville, TN

Back in the COUNTRY

Currently in the middle of a run of shows here in WA for the Sunny Cowgirls and I can't express how good it is to be back doing some country music and catching up on some old friends has been so great...
