Pau Vallvé started playing the drums at the age of 3, started studying music at the age of 6, playing in bands at 10, released his first record at 15 and started recording his own records at the age of 18. He plays all of the instruments on his discs (piano, guitar, bass guitar, drums, programmings, voices, xylophones, etc). He records and mixes everything in his studio. While studying music(from the age of 6 till 21), first classical music then modern-jazz (classical percussion, drums, piano, singing, harmony, solfeggio, etc), he started studying Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, but left halfway through to move on to studying production and post-production of audio. Durring his period of studying fine arts, Pau Vallvé accumulated a series of plastic art works that he has used as a presentation card to inspire the designs of the front covers of his discs, his webpages, the backcover of the magazine La Plaça del Xurro (still active, updated every 3 months) or the front cover of the disc he does for MNAC (National Museum of Art from Catalunya). Currently Pau Vallvé is immersed in the creation and administration of webpages. He has created and maintains currently three webpages, four blogs and three myspaces.
