New York-based singer-songwriter Paul Beaubrun was born into the legendary musical family behind Boukman Eksperyans, one of Haiti's most famous bands. His 2020 release 'Rasanbleman' (Red Moon) - Haitian creole for "a large gathering" - is a reference to the group of nearly 30 musicians and artists who got together for the album's recording sessions in Jacmel on the southern coast of Haiti. The group included some of Paul's family members and other Haitian artists like DJ Michael Brun, J Perry and MCs TROUBLEBOY HITMAKER and Kanis.

A scion of Haitian musical royalty, Paul has spent his life living to the beat. Son of Theodore and Mimerose Beaubrun of the Grammy-nominated Haitian band Boukman Eksperyans, his earliest memories are of rhythm and sound. Moving to New York as a youth, he was inspired by his heritage to begin crafting a sound all his own. Constantly aware of his roots, the struggle of an immigrant, and the drive of New York life, Paul began to create a path where music, activism, and history meet. A unique and transfixing sound he calls “Roots/Blues,” Paul weaves his impeccable guitar skills, rich vocals, musical ingenuity, and cultural history together all while performing a smooth melange of both English, French, and Creole. www.paulbeaubrun.com
