Paul jumped into the LA music scene shortly before earning his college degree at the Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. It was a classic story of synchronicity meeting brilliance. A phone call, a new band, plane tickets for him and his gear, plus the courage to follow his muse. Singer, songwriter, producer, engineer, and studio musician, Paul’s career blossomed in California, New York and London.
Paul formed his first band while in the sixth grade. His first and lasting love was rock. Years of classical training in piano, voice and trumpet provided a breadth of technique and a depth of expression rarely found in this genre.
Early in a frightening new pandemic, Paul contracted HIV. It did not impact his productive life for nearly a decade. After his diagnosis with AIDS, he continued to work on his Music for AIDS projects until failing health forced a return to his Cincinnati's family home in 1996.
Enthusiasm, talent, and an unswerving devotion to his work and friends returned a wide circle of personal and professional respect. The circle grows through scholarships and expanding online connections to his life and times.
Paul’s music and lyrics seamlessly combine power and grace. His insights are timeless, compelling and evocative. Through these works, he will live forever.
