Paul began guitar lessons at age 14. His zeal for learning and intense daily practice prepared him well for study at Holyoke
Community College and Westfield State College. Paul studied under Philip DeFremery, a well known student of classical
guitar legend Andres Segovia. During college Paul participated in many "master classes", one-on-one intensives with guest
professionals such as Benjamin Verdery. Paul graduated with a degree in music in 1998. He earned several awards and
scholarships throughout his studies, one of the most notable being the Young Composer's Award in 1998.
Paul's compositions have appeared in several independent films such as "El Episodio" by Caroline Bell, which has made
appearances at several film festivals. A composition of Paul's, titled "October", was selected for nationwide release on the
"Best of GuitarWar.com" compilation CD. Currently, he is composing the score for an independent film, "Down", in
cooperation with musician Christopher Couchon.
