Paul P. McMæiler is a songwriter, most notable for being co-writer, producer and sampler of Wood band Posterium, along with Tufty Jones.

In 2008, Paul and Jones were on holiday and decided it would be a good idea to form a band, settling on the name "The Merchants of I". Paul would learn guitar, while Jones would perform vocal duties. Eventually the band dissolved, due to lack of musical talent. Roughly a year later, Jones had discovered musical talent and innovation in guitar and bass form. They re-decided to create a project and thus, Posterium was born. With the duo co writing lyrics and Jones performing the majority of instruments, Paul would handle noise experimentation, general production, programming and sampling.

Paul grew tired of labelling music and categorisation. Due to this he and Jones have always described their music as "Wood". That way, they are free to explore all genres, no matter how the end result may be.

Jones also influenced Paul's musical taste, introducing him to most notably, Stone Sour, 10,000 Cadillacs, Pitch Black Forecast, Mushroomhead and Slipknot. Posterium's lyrics are co-written, Paul's lyrical input is noticeable due to their unique and humorous traits, although he has not made a statement as such to where he gets that from.
