Things have happened remarkably fast for PAZ. Like 100k downloads of his debut mixtape in the 24 hours. Or the mish-mash celebrity admirers including country star Tim McGraw, Black Eyed Peas, and Kanye West. Those things don’t happen overnight for most musicians, but for PAZ, the stars aligned perfectly and things couldn’t go any more swimmingly.
Not long ago, PAZ was a regular college student, albeit in a prestigious Ivy League school, playing rugby by day and performing at rowdy frat parties at night. Like awkward silences bursting the conversation bubble, the pauses between songs ruined the flow of the show and sapped the party’s energy. "I used to stop and start between songs, but that meant the crowd would stop too. At some point I just started blending my music, like a DJ,” explains PAZ. His musical style of mashing up hip hop, rock, and dance beats evolved out of this need to keep the party in motion. And in a way, the motion hasn’t stopped for PAZ ever since.August 2010 saw the release of the first official PAZ mixtape Young Broke & Fameless, which was downloaded 100,000 times within the first 24 hours. PAZ may be young, he may be broke, but maybe not so much fameless--his work has caught the fancy of mainstream artists and legendary party promoters, opening many more doors than if PAZ stayed on the straight and narrow of a rugby playing college student.You can find out more about PAZ and download Young Broke & Fameless for free via the PAZ Facebook page.
