Paul Boehnke fell in love with recordings of the fugues of J.S. Bach when he was 14. The next year he began study in organ and was introduced to the music of Louis and François Couperin, Buxtehude, and Byrd. After studying in Amsterdam, Paul returned to the States and enjoyed a varied career performing and teaching, including nine years as the artistic director of the Bach Society of Minnesota.

In 2017 he became certified as a personal and business coach and has been splitting his time between music and coaching. He has published the book Thoughts On Demand: Turn Negative Self-Talk Into Unstoppable Confidence which is available on Amazon as well as other online booksellers.
