About Paul

Paul spends his life immersed in music. Trombone and Piano lessons, singing in numerous choirs, playing bass guitar in a school rock band, playing in the jazz trio - Jamin’ the Sandwich, orchestras, wind bands, big bands, tours around Europe, starting an acapella group and writing all the arrangements for them, and so much more! Paul also began teaching music, going into schools and teaching privately from home and eventually wanted more.

After a 17 year gap year, Paul decided it was time to start his own education again, and applied to the University of Nottingham to study music. Three years later, and with a degree under his belt, Paul has discovered his musical calling of composition. Having been able to work in a dedicated department and with excellent resources and opportunities, Paul has developed his compositional style, and expanded his range when it comes to the use of traditional instruments, but also the use of synthesis, electronics, and extended techniques when writing for solo instruments.
