Originally, Paul Dateh was only supposed to be a violinist. Beginning his violin studies at the age of four, it seemed that Dateh’s future in the classical industry was set in stone. But, on his first day at The University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music, Dateh suddenly dropped his major in Violin Performance and enrolled in the Jazz Studies program instead. The move shocked his colleagues as it was hard to understand why anyone would walk away from fourteen years of classical training to begin learning an entirely new musical discipline. But, Dateh knew that he wanted to be more than just a classical musician; his goal was to become a musician, in every possible way.

Today, as a singer, an award-winning songwriter, and an instrumentalist, it would appear that Dateh is on track to achieving his goal. His work can be heard on releases by various artists within both mainstream and underground hip hop circles, and he can currently be seen performing throughout the United States and the world.

The self-titled debut album will be launching January, 27th, 2009. After months of hard work, the album is now a reality; so come hear the finished product live!

In case you can't make the show in person, please join us at http://live.pauldateh.com to see a live stream of the performance online.

If you’d like a preview of what’s to come, you can currently get the first single off the album entitled “Be More” at the Amazon MP3 store (iTunes coming soon).

Of course, the full album will be available through all major digital retailers, and you’ll be able to purchase physical copies from CD Baby or directly at a live show.
