Originally from Pittsburgh, Paul is an American living in a small
village in Serbia, having moved there straight from New York
City, creating sci-fi musicals in an old, Balkan farming village.
His work has grown steadily due to online word of mouth and
has a very active and enthusiastic fanbase that creates art,
cosplay, and animatics of the characters and songs. Paul says,
“I worked furiously on music for years with nobody listening,
unable to figure out how to attract an audience and resigning
myself to the reality that I would spend my life at a craft I would remain unknown for,” reveals Paul. “Once I made peace with this, I was free to create exactly what I wanted and not worry about what people might like, and so I went back to making weird, story albums, sci-fi musicals, and lo and behold, then I made it.
