Paul has been a prominent figure in the music industries since the early 1980s when he first formed Friends Again with his childhood friend and singer, Chris Thompson. Following in the footsteps of bands such Aztec Camera, Friends Again grew a large following, particularly in Scotland, and released their album Trapped and Unwrapped in 1984.

After Friends Again disbanded, Paul and James Grant formed Love and Money. The band signed to Phonogram Records and instantly began to gain critical acclaim and success. They recorded their first album All You Need Isu2026 in London in 1985 with legendary producer Tom Dowd and Andy Taylor of Duran Duran.rrThe band then moved to America to record their most popular album, Strange Kind of Love, where they worked with the renowned Steely Dan producer Gary Katz. Strange Kind Of Love has become one of the most highly regarded Scottish albums of the 1980s and after recording the band went on many successful concerts with U2, BB King and Simply Red.

Since then, Paul has become one of the most prominent producers / mix engineers in the Scottish music business, with a particularly strong body of work in Celtic and traditional folk music. Many recording artists continually return to Paul to work on their albums. He has mixed and mastered many records for Julie Fowlis, Roddy Hart, Capercaille, James Grant, Justin Currie, Ricky Ross - and the list goes on. Beyond Scotland, Paul has worked with a diverse range of artists such as Beyoncxe9 Knowles, Pavarotti and the French Algerian artist IDIR.rrThroughout the years, Paul has collaborated on hundreds of albums; he has always contributed to the songs and musical ideas of the projects he works on. His interest in electronic music and the collection work he has built up over the years has led him to record a new collaborative album under the pseudonym, 'Starless'. This ambitious project is one which encapsulates his electronic influences and his skills as a composer / producer with each song on the album featuring a singer with whom Paul has developed a musical relationship.
