I am from Canada. I grew up in Burlington, Ontario - where I still live. I am always on tour all over the world. It gives me a chance to travel and see a lot of amazing things. My favorite place in the world is California. One day I will probably end up living there.

I'm addicted to buying and listening to music. I have a 60 GB iPod now since my old one stopped working (gotta love technology). My CD collection barely fits in my room, I need more shelves. Every moment in my life can be linked to a specific song or album. Cave In is my favorite band of all time. I listen to everything, diversity is key - check out my list of musical interests if you are looking for some new amazing bands.

I love mexican food - I'm vegetarian and have been for over 6 years. I've been straight edge my entire life, that is just something I have chose to follow. I have existed this way without being a crucial hardcore kid or someone who preaches to everyone else. However, I have been known to 'party down' (as they sometimes say) even without being under the influence. I don't care if someone else gets wasted, so don't get that idea either.

Life has been good and I have so many great friends that support everything I do. Without these friends, I would not exist. It's tough being in a band that is gone from home all of the time but it has so many rewards at the same time. My dream has always been to play in a band ever since I started playing the drums 12 years ago.

I honestly don't mind having a myspace and having all of this on the internet, there's nothing to hide. I don't take all of this internet stuff to seriously (and you shouldn't either).. so don't think that I do. If you respect me, I'll respect you. Message me, add me, harass me or whatever, it's all good. Sometimes I get behind on all of that when I'm on the road, so please forgive me.

Peace.
Paul A. Koehler.
