Paul has written more than 20 recording and music technology textbooks, the latest being The Producer’s Manual.

He’s played in various bands over the years and currently collaborates with Malvern musician Mark Soden, under the name of Cydonia Collective. Paul still performs live claiming that as he has suffered for his music he doesn’t see why everyone else shouldn’t too!
