Born 29th of May, 1968 and belonging to a musical family, Paul's greatest musical influence was his older brother Chris. At the age of 9 he followed in Chris' footsteps and began playing trumpet. This naturally led to school bands and concerts, however, after being exposed to numerous musical influences by way of Chris' elaborate record collection, Paul became intrigued with amazing drum work. Musicians such as Alan White, Bill Bruford, Simon Phillips, Billy Cobham and many others inspired Paul which ignited a natural rhythmic ability.
This led to a serious dedication to percussion whichcontinues today.
Paul's drumming style not only reflects his technical gift but also his musical sensibility. Whether it is Rock, Fushion or Jazz Paul applies the same precision and intensity to his drumming, which is never lacking in emotion and feel. In his early twenties, Paul experimented musically and diverged between traditional Rock playing bands to song writing original performers. This led to an opportunity to rehearse and play with his brother Chris Martinic .
