Born in East London, Paul 'Trouble' Anderson grew up in children's homes all over England, becoming a keen sportsman. His natural athleticism and immense passion for football saw him go on to play for Tottenham Hotspur, Charlton and Middlesex County's youth squads as well running for Haringey. As well as sports, Paul enjoyed music and was a major dancer in the clubs, pre-mixing days, and he is still dancing in the DJ box, having been known to hurdle over the decks for a boogie down before jumping back just in time to cue the next record! Paul started off DJ-ing in the early Sound System days, and was also a sound man, who followed the Chicken, Scrap Iron and Fat Man Around systems around. Paul's uncle ran a reggae sound that converted into a soul sound, called Troublefunk and this is where he acquired his stage name "Trouble". At this time he meet DJ pioneer and one of the founders of Kiss FM radio, George Power, who asked Paul to play alongside him at the legendary jazz funk sessions
