Born on the ruins of the soviet union in a country nobody knows about Pavel always sought a way to escape the hopeless concrete prison that was his hometown. Looking towards the western music, TV and Hollywood he was contaminated by the naive idea of American dream. That you can do anything if you really work hard and strive for the best. But these hopes were crushed by a brutal reality.
In a country that is torn by corrupt politicians and conflicting ideologies with no real music industry - art can only be a therapy. After accepting this Pavel took the name paul small and started writing about his struggles with guilt, fear, self-acceptance and relationships to help himself and others to get through the hardest moments in life. In his songs contagious hooks meet immersive sound-design and production creating a perfect mixture of inde-pop sound with alternative and emo influences.
In the past years paul small got a significant following on social media by documenting his struggles of living in a post-soviet country, being a musician and doing fun viral music experiments sampling internet videos and covering songs in different genres. His TikToks get hundreds of thousands views attracting followers from all over the world.
So was the dream of becoming a successful indie artist that hopeless?
