Paulus is a sought-after guitarist worldwide and has played on many important stages and jazz festivals; from Carnegie Hall and Royal Opera House Mumbai to the Bimhuis and Jazz Dock Prague, and many jazz festivals such as Copenhagen Jazz Festival, Amersfoort World Jazz Festival, Jazz in Duketown, Daejon International Guitar Festival, Breda Jazz, Django Reinhardt Festival Samois etc.
‘With each of his touch the notes sang, he danced and hovered above the music like a bird of prey … he is ready to reach a large audience‘. (Review by Tom Beetz. Jazzflits nummer 312 January 26, 2019. Bimhuis Amsterdam).
