Pauli (The PSM) (born Paul Stanley-McKenzie) is a British drummer, recording artist and producer.
In 2005 he won the Young Drummer of The Year award and appeared on the Blue Peter, performing and being interviewed by Matt Baker.[1][2] In 2008 at the age of 19 he was appointed as the musical director for MOBO Award winning artist Jahaziel, and later was selected to play drums and percussion for the newly formed Gorillaz Sound System, touring globally in support of the album Plastic Beach. Playing with Gorillaz led Damon Albarn to select McKenzie to play in his Africa Express project, playing alongside Paul McCartney, John Paul Jones, Tony Allen and Baaba Maal.[3]
In January 2014 it was announced that McKenzie would play drums for Damon Albarn on tour in support of his debut solo album Everyday Robots, alongside Seye, Jeff Wootton and Mike Smith.[4]
