Paulie Z was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. At a very early age it was clear that music and art were his passions in life. After eight years of art school and a BA in illustration, Paul found his true calling when he started performing live on stage as the lead singer and guitarist in various local rock bands such as Legend, Splivey Cool and Co2. It would ultimately be the power trio ZO2, co-founded with his brother David Z, that would bring him his first taste of success.
