Paulo was born in Caxias do Sul, Brazil to Carmen Acco and German immigrant Ildefonso Schroeber. He had his first contact with music at the age of 14, his father gave him a classical guitar at that time and thereafter he began to attend music lessons.
When he turned 18, he abandoned his academic studies to focus on music, and then he studied classical guitar for three years. Already at an early age his passion for classical music was evident, playing songs by Heitor Villa-Lobos, Bach and Julio Salvador Sagreras. His fascination with guitarists such as Jason Becker, Marty Friedman and Steve Morse was of equal size, because along with the classical guitar, Paulo studied electric guitar, but this instrument was self-taught.

Along with its activities, Paulo has always worked with teaching private lessons and classes in the main schools of the region, having as its brightest students names as Cassio and Daniel Vianna Suliani (Abomination).
He's now working on his rock/metal project entitled Hammer 67, that released their first CD entitled Mental Illness in 2009, together with the band, recorded the music video for the song 1984.[1]
