We've worked together on a variety of projects in the past and always looked for an opportunity to find our own space to make music with talented people in a no-pressure environment. That opportunity became reality in 2002 when we set up shop in a former Mummer clubhouse in South Philadelphia. With a relaxed atmosphere that allows people to perform their best, 1935 blends both old and new technology and techniques to create music that's both current and timeless.

Paul spent a number of years as an engineer at famed Sigma Sound, the birthplace of the Sound Of Philadelphia, where he worked with everyone from the Roots, Erykah Badu and D'Angelo to Eric Clapton to the Dead Milkmen. He produced the first two critically acclaimed records by Marah and has been the engineer of choice for such luminaries as Steve Earle, Blue Mountain, and John Stirrat of Wilco. He has also spent time as the front of house mixing engineer on national tours as well as the Trocadero and Theater of Living Arts in Philadelphia.
