Isola was one of the original members and founders of the band.[1] He also plays the djembe, piano, flamenco guitar and palmas.
Being a native Gibraltarian, Isola is naturally bilingual in English and Spanish and uses this ability to his advantage when writing songs. He often incorporates Spanish words and phrases into the band's lyrics, sometimes writing them fully in Spanish.

In early 2014, Paul temporarily returned to Breed 77 to complete a 'very special one-off tour' of the UK.[3] The tour was in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the release of the band's seminal Cultura album and culminated on 15 March ith a Main Stage performance at Hammerfest VI. He then rejoined.[4]
