Peter Paulus is the creator and composer of Rhythm Tide.  His sole purpose for the creation of Rhythm Tide is his love for music and the satisfaction of being able to affect people emotionally with his music.  Rhythm Tide is a journey into musical palettes with a kaleidoscope of shades and colors, transformed into sounds.

Peter was born and raised in Vancouver, BC Canada and began playing music over six decades ago.  He started on the accordion, moved to drums, then transcended to piano, guitar, ukulele, and banjo.  Coming from a background of Viennese music and culture, the Paulus family musical group entertained at private parties with Peter on drums, his father on accordion and his mother played tambourine and melodica.

Peter played clarinet in his school band and at 16, formed his first Pop ensemble and the band quickly became popular playing during lunchtime and after school sock-hops.

For Peter it was just a small step from his high school beginnings to start his professional career as a drummer in the number one cabaret band in Vancouver, "The Handley Page Group".
