Paul Allen Wood Shaffer was born on November 28, 1949, in Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. His parents Bernard Shaffer and Shirley Shaffer raised their son in the Jewish culture. While being a young kid, Paul learnt to play the piano, but later together with his classmates started to play organ with a band which they called “The Fabulous Fugitives”. However, later Paul changed his musical style one more time when he attended the University of Toronto. There he started to perform together with Tisziji Munoz – a jazz guitarist from Brooklyn, New York.
