Paul was born and raised in Berlin-Neukölln. In 2009 he moved to Vienna to study communication science at the University of Vienna. After three years with little studying, lots of internships, mini-jobs and band projects, he began working on soulbottles in October 2011 after his friend Georg came to him with the idea. In 2012 he finished his degree and started working on the project full time. In 2013 after the successful crowdfunding campaign, he moved back to his hometown Berlin.
