i'm paul. this is my one-man band.

i discovered music at thirteen. i picked up the guitar a couple years later. i got discouraged and quit. i picked it up a year later. i started writing and recording my own songs a few years after that. now i'm 21... my music is me, my recorder, and everything i make noise with. i just write what i like. i don't care if people hate my music, i'm gonna keep writing it. the only people who have an impact on what i write are the ones i respect and look up to... if you don't give up, then you'll win.
