Born and raised in Los Angeles, Paul spent his formative years in inner city L.A. amidst the violence of constant gang activity. He was an only child born into a small family and was almost always around adults in most social situations. He remembers most the year he spent on a farm in Lancaster, Ca. "It was the most eye opening, evolutionary experience I have ever had. I was a city boy living on a farm! I woke up every morning to feed the cows and chickens. We ate what we grew, whether it was eggs, milk or beef. It all came from our hands. It is where I became a man."

Does any of this really matter? What I've done and what I've accomplished is nothing. All of my degrees, awards, moments of stardom, they all mean nothing. All that matters is who I am.

Along the rivers of fire

Purged and driven

I will not stop until I am known

Not of the masses, but of my children

And those who seek depth

For I am alone

Through desert flailing misery

I have been birthed

I am molded in experience

And I know well the tears of hurt

But that is not my journey's end

Only the grains of my evolution

And I will be more

You will know me, when you know my words
