The semi-professional of Paul JM started at the age of 12 when he joined his first band as a drummer. Painting surrealistic paintings (okay, they weren't great) also became a huge interest after discovering the world of Dali.At the age of 15 he switched over to guitar, pretty much staying with that and had the opportunity to play CBGB's during the good years in bands such as THE LATEST and IBM. Then music was put on a back burner while Paul became a gallery artist, showing in Soho, NY, DC, and Connecticut. After getting frustrated with gallery politics he returned to music, a solo project titled PERIOD COMMA. With that he recorded 3 cd's (The Ager, Lily Still and It's Me Old Man) on his sold which were privately sold through internet sites. Songs were fetured on several compilation cd's. Presently he is working on writing stage plays and screenplays in which one is a musical titled THE SEVERED. Paul has written the songs for The Severed and is now in the process of recording them in home studio. He is a hired guitarist for the up and coming group Lostdog in Loveland.
