From his early years under the guidance of his songstress mother, Paul Askew's musical roots run deep, with inspirations drawn from artists like Brandy, Usher, Beyonce, Stevie Wonder, and many others. While his music transcends simple genre definitions, his love for it is evident.
Having faced ten years of personal challenges ranging from depression and substance abuse to life-altering physical setbacks and the heartbreak of losing his mother, 2021 marked Paul's renaissance in the music scene. Launching his very own record label, PaulPaul Music, he became its inaugural artist. Paul is committed to showcasing his story and passion by intertwining his deep love for God, humanity, and life in his music.
Paul made waves in May 2022 when his debut single “Save Me” clinched the top spot on the Billboard Gospel Internet Charts. Furthermore, his album "Book of Paul" is in contention for the Best Gospel Artist Grammy. Beyond music, Paul has ventured into fashion, working with Nigerian designer David Mando to create the King Paul Askew Collection for men. He also introduced the KingPaul holistic product line, which includes beard oils, body care products, and fragrances for men.
Recently, Paul collaborated with DeGunn and the renowned rapper, Intelligent Diva, who boasts of high-profile collaborations like Sean Kingston & Ty Dolla $ign, to drop their upbeat summer track, S.T.A (Shake That Ass). This song is quickly gaining traction, with thousands of streams across major platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, and is expected to be a staple on global radio stations and nightlife scenes.
