Although Mick Paul has been musically active since the late 1970s his early work was mostly as a session bassist and only really gained greater prominence when he joined the David Cross Band in 1995. As well as holding down the bass end of the music, Paul was also responsible for the production of several of the band's albums and was active participant in writing the material. However, it was only while working on the David Cross and David Jackson album Another Day in 2018 that he found he was writing songs that were very personal to him that felt and would be more suitably released on a solo album rather than put forward as ideas for other musicians to develop and adapt within a band project.
