Artist Profile: Jermaine Paul

After performing on worldwide tours and Grammy Award winning songs, MBK Entertainment’s singing sensation Jermaine Paul is ready to share his voice with the world.

Born in New York as the fifth of ten children, music has been a part of Jermaine’s life since day one. “I don’t think I’d be doing music if it weren’t for my mom, my dad, and my brothers and sisters,” he says. At the tender age of 8, Jermaine began singing in local churches and talent shows. By the age of 12, he learned to play the drums and taught himself how to play guitar. By 17, Jermaine was signed to Shaquille O’Neal’s Twism Records as a part of R&B group 1Accord. Affording him the opportunity to tour around the world with Shaq and rappers Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz, Jermaine fully capitalized on his opportunity.

As the lead singer of 1Accord, he performed on the Booty Call soundtrack, a movie starring Jamie Foxx and Jada Pinkett Smith. He also wrote and produced for R&B group BlackStreet and sang background vocals for numerous R&B artists the likes of Mary J. Blige, Brandy, and Kelly Price.

However, it would be his association with music superstar Alicia Keys that would change his career forever. Using his musical talents to capture the ears of audiences around the world as an opening act and background singer for the worldwide superstar, Jermaine has established himself as a bonafide star, appearing on the hit single “Diary” from The Diary of Alicia Keys and “If This World Were Mine” on the Luther Vandross dedicated compilation So Amazing: An All-Star Tribute to Luther Vandross.

Now as he sets out on a solo career, Jermaine is ready to prove to the world that he is the real deal. With a deep musical bloodline running through his veins and a Grammy Award already under his belt, Jermaine remains humble about his impending success. “I don’t know what the future holds for me,” he says. “I just want the music to be heard and for people to enjoy it.”
