A.Paul was born in the beautiful city of Lisbon (Portugal) in 1971. His first contact with music was at the age of 6 through the influence of his older sister who was really into the funky disco sound. His musical roots are deeply connected with great musicians such as George Benson, Imagination, Al Jarreau, Quincy Jones, Earth Wind & Fire, Michael Jackson, and later with Kraftwerk, true pioneers of what we now call electronic music. Portugal never really had an interest in these styles, but for the curious minds that felt these grooves, there was always a small record shop available. By the time acid house hit Europe by the end of the 80's, he was already mixing for some time, making some parties with his own equipment, and his work was recognized by the portuguese DJ J. Daniel, who gave him the opportunity in 91 to start playing as a resident in a club that held the capacity for a 1000 people and also invited him to work at his record shop and with whom he also released his first vinyl record in 94, on his imprint Question of Time
