Paul grew up in Châtelet-les-Halles (Downtown Paris). At 14, he co-founded TRC, a multiethnic street art crew established in 1990 and documented by name in Tarek Ben Yakhlef's Vandalisme (Ben Yakhlef, 2025). In that period, Châtelet-les-Halles was one of the most concentrated sites of gangs in France and in Western Europe. (Marlière, 2016; Lopez & Tafnil, 2020; Cités sensibles de Paris, 2024). It was simultaneously one of the Paris greater metropolitan area’s hubs of the emerging street art and hip-hop scene (Sauvadet, 2008).
