Soaring on the blues scene with recording artists Big Mike and The Bootie Pappas, Paul would end up on several Gospel, Blues, and Jazz recordings and Nashville television spots including a stint with the Blues Brothers for the opening of the new stadium in town. Storming the live club scene with his fiery sax style and his upfront stage presence, Paul made a name for himself becoming the focus of any group he was part of. Finishing a bachelors degree in the Recording Industry from Middle Tennessee, Paul eventually toured around the east and ended up back in the Rochester area.
