简介: Paul Beaubrun is a singer/songwriter and guitarist, is said to embody the "Zing" spirit -- a captivating energy and ability to uplift people, to embrace one's past while living in the present moment and looking forward to the future with hope and determination. Paul comes from an eminent and treasured Haitian family of entertainers and is the grandson of Haiti’s beloved actor/comedian, Theodore Beaubrun aka Languichatte Debordus. He is also the youngest son of Grammy nominated Lolo and Manze Beaubrun, lead singers and founders of Boukman Eksperyans, Haiti's most influential, popular and revolutionary band. Paul's musical vision was shaped young by his family, as he grew up performing alongside them all over the world from the Caribbean, the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Paul's musical upbringing and passion for his roots fuels the core of the powerful and unique sound of Zing Experience.
Paul Beaubrun, along with his band Zing Experience fuze Haitian Roots, Rock and Reggae to create a soulful sound, with influences from artists as diverse as Boukman Eksperyans, Fela Kuti, Sade, Angelique Kidjo, Emeline Michel, Jimi Hendrix, and Bob Marley.
Paul Beaubrun & Zing Experience made their New York City debut on September 30, 2006 at Sugar Bar, the legendary music venue of '70s icons Ashford and Simpson. They packed the house and created an instant following of loyal supporters. That momentous night opened the door for his band, Zing Experience to deliver its positive message of embracing one's roots, spirituality, and "live a better day" as reflected in one of the band's most popular songs, "Take Me Away".
Since the debut, Paul has gained international and commercial appeal and has performed in Europe, the Caribbean, South America, Canada and the U.S, making him one of the few artists out of Haiti that has been able to garner worldwide success. In March 2009, he and his band headlined the annual "No Siesta, Fiesta" Festival in Norway, where they received rave reviews from the Norwegian press and where they also recorded their first full length album, “Project Haiti” in 2010. Paul's music has been used in three internationally distributed films, "The Road to Fondwa", "Une Memoire Vodou", and “Bondye Bon”.
In February 2011, Paul received the prestigious Unesco-Aschberg Artist in Residency Scholarship in Montreal, Canada where he headlined the annual Musique Multi-Montreal Festival.
In November 2012, he signed with the like-minded and socially conscious record label, PeaceTones, with whom he has distributed his debut album, “Project Haiti” with his band. The release of the album was celebrated enthusiastically with a full audience at NYC’s renowned Webster Hall. Since the release, Paul and Zing Experience continue to promote both the album and message throughout the U.S.
In 2013, Paul and his band toured in California and headlined Target First Saturdays at the Brooklyn Museum on August 3rd for thousands of high-spirited fans.
In 2014, Paul and Zing Experience toured in many cities throughout Norway, where he also performed at a benefit concert in Oslo for Project Haiti at the Rockefeller. Paul also performed several times in Montreal at Club Balattou for Nuits D'Afrique.
Along with that busy schedule he also managed to fit in a tour throughout Haiti and played at a major festival "Destination Aquin", a huge success.
Paul is currently working on a solo project, an acoustic EP and also working on Zing Experience's second album.
Paul's music and concepts always centre on his deepest belief that "I did not choose music, music chose me. Music can free your soul and make you love yourself and see the world in a better light"
