Life Legacy
Train up a boy in the way he should go, so when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)
Paul Mitchell Burch, affectionately known as “Mista P” was born on Monday, March 12th, 1979, at 12:30 in the afternoon to his beloved parents, Bernice Billings Burch & Hosea Hiram Burch, Jr in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. At very early age Paul accepted in his heart the love of Jehovah God & the merits of his son, Jesus Christ.
He first started out his education at the age of six years old at F.L. Stanton Elementary School in the Westside area of Atlanta, Georgia.

He furthered his education & graduated in 2002 from his alma mater of the historical Black College of Morris Brown College. While attending Morris Brown College, Paul became a part of Kappa Kappa Psi Fraternity soon becoming a part of the Morris Brown College Marching Wolverines Band.

Very soon after college & later in his life, Paul started his own music production company called “Legendary Ent.”, managing many music artists.
