Early life
Paul Anthony, the youngest of seven children of Hjálmtr E. Hjálmtr E. Hjálmtyr, a bank clerk, and Margrét Matthágn, a writer, was born in Reykjavk on March 16th. His mother had him perform for the women in her sewing club and at family birthday parties as an adult. He spent a lot of time in choirs and in media companies, and released his first album at the age of seven. He appeared in his first leading role in a professional theatre performance was aged 12 years old in Rubber Tarzan, Ole Lund Kirkegaard's famous Danish children's book (1940-1979). His voice died two weeks after the musical's last performance, and he did not perform for the next two years.
Despite Paul Oscar's family's encouragement of his musical abilities, his parents did not get along with each other, and his schoolmates bullied him. "I was Little Palli," Paul Oscar recalled, "I was chubby, nerdy, and anyone who was afraid of other men." He discovered men attracted at the age of 13, and he and his family came out to his family at 16. "For the first day, there was a lot of talk about acceptance, but my father did raise his voice." There was this terrible silence on the second day, and the third, as well as the fourth. They treated me like an alien." However, his mother was adamant. "If Páll has the talent to fall in love, he should nurture it," she said. He has every right to eat dinner with his partner as well as others do with their spouse."
At the age of 18, Paul Oscar rediscovered his voice and performed bass with the Hamrahl's college choir for two years. In 1990, he won a talent competition for his college; later that year, he played Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show, which was a huge hit. He began appearing in drag shows at a notorious Reykjav nightclub around the same time. Since the club's closing, he became a radio jockey on independent radio station FM 90,9. He appeared in a film called Svo á himni (As in Heaven, 1992).
Personal life
Paul Oscar has said, "I have a lot of work to do" in terms of his personal life. I suppose I have had three relationships that looked flawless from the outside. To me, they were rotten and false. "I'm learning to fall in love with myself right now."

"As a working place, Iceland would be too small for me," Paul Oscar says. Well, it is now. However, I am an Icelander. I will always have a home here. My roots are so valuable to me. "I wouldn't change them for a sack of gold."
