Life and careerEarly lifeBorn in England, Pauls's family moved to New Zealand when he was 2 1/2 years old. Matthews attended Rutherford High School (Now known as Rutherford College). It was here that Paul began playing bass in a high school band called Rigmarole which would later evolve into the band Stylus.

In 1999 Rigmarole won an opportunity to record a single during a local Rockquest competition, the song So What was recorded at Auckland's Revolver studios and went on to get play-listed on The Rock and student radio throughout New Zealand.[3] At the start of 2000 Stylus went on hiatus leading to Paul joining fellow Auckland rock band Tadpole TadpoleIn 2000 with Stylus going into Hiatus, Paul joined Tadpole as bass guitarist. Tadpole had already released songs on New Zealand radio when Paul joined the band.

After touring with the band for two years Paul left Tadpole to return to former band Stylus.
