Funky Swedish music with west coast touch…
Paulo started his musical career in his teens as a drummer, playing in various bands in Sweden, but it didn’t take too long before he realized that it was the guitar players that got all the girls.This led the young – and at that time the shy Paulo – to leave the drum kit forever! Playing the guitar took a great deal of time and commitment, but he was a man on a mission. And when at one point the spot behind the mic was available he thought, “why not give it a try”, and as it turned out, the boy could sing! After playing the cover scene for a couple of years he started gaining attention from the industry, got discovered and signed by a label, consequently leading to the release of his first record ”Respect My Aim”.
