Their third album, Make It Good, featured a sound closer to traditional rock music, but was to be their last studio project with Marazzi.

He left Snagsby in January 2009 to pursue a career as a club DJ in The George Hotel in Whitby.

In 2002, few months after their appearance in the US soap The Young and The Restless, Paul then announced his departure from a1 with a statement that read: "After a lot of thought and deliberation, I have made the difficult choice to leave the band due to personal reasons.

"[2] In an interview on YouTube, Marazzi stated he left the band as he knew their Make It Good album was not that great, and that he might as well jump off the sinking ship.

After a1, Marazzi hosted the Andy Cole Children's Foundation (now All Star Kids) on 26 April 2003 together with Jo Good.

In 2013, he was invited to take part on The Big Reunion (series 2) with a1 but Marazzi refused again to rejoin the band as he wanted to meet up in private instead.

Another song was planned to be released with an accompanying video and was already recorded, but Marazzi later shelved the idea as he prefers live singing.

On 30 November 2014, while A1 was performing in Newcastle for the Big Reunion Boyband Tour, Paul tweeted to ask everyone to stop saying nasty things about his ex-bandmates.

Marazzi was working as a cabinet maker based in Northumberland, and singing part-time with a wedding band called Hip Operations.

The meeting was kept secret until Ben Adams posted a photo of him and Marazzi taken in Sunderland in September that same year.
