Paul Mavanu was born in Mentor Ohio on August 26, 1975. He moved with his parents to Venice, Florida when he was two years old. At the age of seven, his mother started him on a Casio keyboard and a Hammond Organ. By the age of nine, she had him going at the trumpet. Paul switched to the guitar when he was thirteen years old. He auditioned for a performing arts school but failed the audition. Even though he could play the better part of "Eugene's Trick Bag" by Steve Vai, his lack of musical theory led to the judge's refusal.
Paul has said that he was an absolute academic failure in high school. While he drudged through four years of high school, he spent most of his time creating song and album titles for his future works and reading Ayn Rand books. He was eventually put in a class of delinquents where he flew through three years of high school education in six months. After biding his time for a few years, Paul, then 21, set out with his Atari 1040STe to dominate the world of art and musical composition as the Manatee Community College in Florida. Three months in his courses, he had learned everything he needed to know and began to doodle his way through his classes while everybody else struggled through the courses. Finally, Paul dropped out due to boredom and decided to put out an album. Using the alter ego of Sir Millard Mulch, Paul released 50 Intellectually Stimulating Themes From a Cheap Amusement Park for Robots & Aliens, Vol. 1 CD in 1998. After mailing tons of free copies to everywhere he could think of, he got hardly any response to the album at all. In 1999, he followed that release with To Hell With All of You, I Just Wanna Grow My Vegetables which was an outright failure. His live shows were booed off stage and Paul, eventually, returned to Florida. It was there that he met a girl who dragged him down into a state of such submission that after several years it got to the point where, shortly after the release of The De-evolution of Yasmine Bleeth, he quit music.
