[edit] Early life
Paul Allender (born on on November 17, 1970 in Colchester, England).
At the age of six years old, his father introduced him to martial arts which led to a total way of life for him and the home which he grew up in.
He got his first guitar at the age of fourteen years old and played in staggered periods until he was nineteen years old because his martial arts training was always his first priority.
