While Politicians, media icons and recording artists debate over the current issues of the music business (with Rap lyrics at the center of attention). Paradox glides untouched past the drama and brings his audience high energy production coupled with relevant topics without the hotly debated vulgarity.
Born in Brooklyn, NY and raised by Caribbean parents. He pulls elements from his life experiences, spiritual outlook, the city landscape and his cultural heritage to create songs addressing real issues while keeping the entertaining aspect that Hip-Hop was founded on. Such endeavors gave him to unique opportunity to present the culture and history of Hip-Hop to a class of Doctoral candidates at Yale University.
Before he even had an album, Paradox showcased his talents on the concert stages through-out the North-East, heading as far west as Ohio and as far south as Virginia. He performs regularly at clubs and colleges but also makes appearances in community events, churches and prisons. He is also regularly invited to ritzy Hamptons New York for live shows. He understands the value of connecting with his audience in person and enjoys doing so at every opportunity.

Today I got an email from Youtube stating that BET made a copyright infringement claim against me. Maybe I'm being naive but I'm surprised that they would make such a big deal about the video. Its a short clip of some friends of mine performing on 106 and Park that's it. The group never released the song so nothing was being sold and no one was getting any real benefit from it except BET. They were getting free promotion but they didn't care so at a little over 77,000 views and hundreds of positive comments, my video clip got banned. Oh well, one less stream of activity that keeps THEM in the public's eye. I guess they showed me.
