He started to play in the Turnmills thanks to his father, who bought this club in 1985. However, he soon showed everybody what he was able to do with 2 vinyls in the "after" sessions of such legendary club. Since then, he doesn't stop: he had a residency in Zap, London's Gardening Club... and many other. In fact, by now he has played in the main locations of USA, Canada, Australia, Brasil or Ibiza.
In the studio, Paul Newman (his real name) published his very first album in '92, a white label called "Love Rush", which has reedited one year later by Hooj Choons. With Red Jerry (foundator of this label) created together "Rok Da House", a number 11 in the elite top dance charts in England, after being reedited by VC in 1997.
As a producer, he worked in Camisra's "Let me show you", which was the #5 in charts. After that, he was overasked to remix: Duran Duran, Nalin & Kane, Bizarre Inc, Dina Carrol and Blondie were only a few names.
As it was a natural evoltion, he started his own label "Duty Free", which uses to publish Paul's tracks as well as Robbie Rivera, Dj Lottie and Dave Aude ones.
On of the U.K.'s most popular DJs during the 1990s, Tall Paul attained his populist status with his trendsetting shift from house in the early '90s to progressive house and trance in the late '90s. His DJing career began in 1987 at the age of 16; soon after, he had his own pirate radio show, Touchdown FM, and quickly managed to secure a slot on the then popular Sunrise FM. In 1990, he found himself the resident first at Trade and then the Zap Club. Two years later in 1992, he released his first production, "Love Rush," and later would go on to produce a string of successful dancefloor records: "Rock Da House" with Red Jerry, "Deeper" and "Train of Thought" as Escrima, and "Let Me Show You" as Camisra. By the late '90s, Paul continually ranked among the top DJs in countless U.K. magazines, hosted a Saturday night radio show on Kiss FM, signed a record deal with Ministry of Sound, and found himself traveling around the world. His album deal with Ministry of Sound resulted in a series of mix CDs, including multiple volumes of the Dance Nation series as well as the inaugural release in the Headliners series. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide (from mp3.com)
