Paul Frankland started writing music as a teenager, and went on to get a Masters in Film while also working as a DJ.

He first came to attention in the early 1990s when he submitted the track ″Void″ to the Nottingham-based t:me [sic] recording company. The track was included on the first release by t:me’s new downtempo label Em:t, a compilation album titled em:t 0094, which led to Woob signing with the label.
