Paolo first encountered his passion for music and percussion as a very young child. As a toddler, he would often pull out pots and pans and play on them with spoons. At the young age of five, he had his first public performance, when he played “The Little Drummer Boy” on his small drum during a Christmas Eve Mass in front of more than 600 people. At the age of ten, Paolo received his first drum set. One year later, he started playing the drums every Sunday at Good Shepherd Catholic Church. Two years after that, Paolo was asked to play the drums for a Christian album. After several requests, he decided to start giving drum lessons at the age of 14. By the age of 15, he had won one drum solo competition and placed in two more. During his high school years, he participated in the Colonial High School marching band. As a sophomore, he was chosen to be the percussion section leader, a rank which he kept until his senior year. As a senior, Paolo not only obtained the rank of section leader for his third consecutive year, but also achieved the highest student leadership position: band captain. During his high school musical career, Paolo performed in several different locations, won talent shows, achieved several distinguished superior awards at state competitions, and won prestigious musical awards including the John Phillip Sousa and Louis Armstrong awards. He was also hired to play as part of the pit in multiple local musicals, and even had one of his compositions published by Hamar Percussion Publications.
