As Marvin Bernad eloquently puts it:
“Paul Baynham, also known as DJ Penguin, had a vibrant life filled with music, adventure, and love. According to the post, he was a DJ and a force of nature, known for turning any night into an adventure and making every moment unforgettable. He had a long career, playing at various iconic venues in Hong Kong and Tokyo, including Hot Gossip, Julianna’s, Rick’s Cafe, and Hard Rock.

Beyond his professional life, Paul was a devoted family man. He was a loving father to his son Ben, a steadfast husband to his wife Cress, and a cool grandad to his grandkids. He brought the same passion and energy to his personal life, filling his home with warmth and mischief.
Throughout his life, Paul created countless memories with friends and family, marked by laughter, adventure, and a love for music. His legacy lives on through the memories he left behind, and he’s remembered as someone who knew how to live loud, love deep, and never take a single moment too seriously.”
