himself to play by attentively listening and adroitly emulating the
musical mastery of such greats as Al Di Meola, Carlos Santana, George
Benson and Wes Montgomery. With the technical knowledge that enabled
Paul, to advance to the position of president of a computer
software/web publishing company, and the discipline and determination
he acquired as a black belt in Shotokan Karate under the tutelage of
Mr. Errol Bennett, Paul explored the principles of the keyboard and
subsequently developed the techniques, melodies and rhythms that
produce the unique sound of SEQUENCE.
