I got the name "Moist" Paula when I formed the band Moisturizer with Moist Gina Rodriguez in 1998. Up until then I had been having fun playing sax with a lot of great bands and musicians in Australia and New York, many of whom I still play with. Since the day my friend Paul Cumming knocked on my door with a tenor sax in his hand saying "this is yours for a month and if you like it you have to come up with $400", I've had many exciting saxophonic adventures, particularly since as a result of what turned out to be an opportune theft I switched to bari, which I've wielded live and/or in the studio with many of my musical heroes including James Chance & The Contortions, Gogol Bordello, TV on the Radio, The Roots, Smokey Robinson, Martin Luther & Cody Chesnutt, Ed Kuepper and many more. Moisturizer broke up in 2009, but I continue to play every week with Reverend Vince Anderson & The Love Choir (in our 13th year!); and Burnt Sugar: The Arkestra Chamber, Greg Tate's conducted improvised orchestral organism, which is currently working with Melvin Van Peebles on his stage production of Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, which premiered in Paris in Feburary 2010. At the end of 2006 I quit my part-time secretary job and started a solo saxtronic project, Secretary. I recorded and released my first solo album, Secret Life of Secretary and performed the material in a variety of spaces including a storefront gallery, a theatre, a coffee shop, a cinema, rock clubs and All Tomorrows Parties festival. Then I got lonely and turned it into a collaborative duo called SECRETARY feat. BigBoss. Nowadays I am also playing with Bajah & The Dry Eye Crew of Sierra Leone. I proudly use a JodyJazz DV bari sax mouthpiece - it's great!
