Paul cut his first CD, "We The People" and the band Brulé was born still not knowing about a possibly son out there somewhere that has a sense of what his bio father went through as well.

But before he could walk out the door for his first live performance, his daughter Nicole offered to join and play the melodies on her flute, Brulé became a duo.

Starting from nothing, Brulé worked the art show circuit slowly gaining exposure and a solid fan base.

By 2003 the band was steadily maintaining a schedule of over 70 performances a year including full stage productions with lights, video, and Native American dancers.

As the group began to slowly become independent, Paul expanded Buffalo Moon Productions by introducing AIRO (American Indian Rock Opera) as an extension of the Brulé name.

Performing for years under Paul's recording name, AIRO gave identity to the rest of the band members and the dance troupe.
