Anthony Pauls Musical Biography
Anthony Paul's energy and love for the music has been an inspiration for many people, both musically and not. He is definitely a force to be reckoned with when he's behind the decks, being able to capture the element of the moment, and adapt to any situation. He classifies his music as House, and his music ranges from driving progressive to funky house, and electro.
In late 2001 he began using three turntables in his club DJ sets while playing progressive house. Then, in mid 2002, he added a drum machine to his performance.
In 2002, alone, Anthony Paul had performed at over 100 parties. This also included four monthly residencies before he decided to hold his own weekly called Pulse at a venue known as Hartz in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He held this weekly event over nine months until he decided to willingly pass the night on to another eager promoter so he could focus more of his energy on his DJ career and music production. This allowed him to DJ in various cities, and states, along the east coast including New England, Washington, D.C., North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida. Within a few years form then he had released many songs that could be found all over the world. His original music, and remixes, can now be found, and purchased, on most digital download websites.
Anthony Paul was interviewed by Ninevolt Magazine for their electronic music section in 2003 (issue No.113, April 8, 2003; Page 21). In March 2005, he was voted one of the top 5 EDM DJ's in Hampton Roads after Ninevolt had its "6th Annual Ninevolt Local Music Awards" (issue No.146; page 25).
In the later part of 2005 Anthony Paul and a local promoter began a night known as Euronight at a club called Granby Theater. At the time, this was the major hot spot in Virginia. Once a month, for over 3 years, hundreds upon thousands would come through the doors for a night full of house music and friendly vibes at a party which had a theme of a different country for each event. For example, Euronight Greece had the countries flag hanging from the banisters inside, and the billboard on the front of the club. The dancers wore outfits matching the colors of the countries flag, and even a few remixes of popular Greek songs were played during the peak hours.
Other countries that were celebrated, in 2007, were Sweden (February 3rd), Austria (March 3rd), UK (April 7th), Italy (June 3rd), Russia (July 8th), Bulgaria (August 5th), Spain (September 2nd), Greece (October 7th), Germany (November 4th) and European Union (Dec 2nd).
Word of Euronight quickly spread throughout Virginia, and neighboring states. This was one event DJs wanted to play at, and it became clear when demos from DJs all over the east coast flooded Anthony Paul’s mailbox. Many guest DJs were booked Including Rhythm at Work DJs Gary Willis and Jamie Foat who DJ for/on Ministry of Sound Radio. They played at Euronight UK, and then returned for Euronight Union: 1 year anniversary. Donald Glaude, who is a world famous DJ and producer, performed at Euronight Union: 2 Year Anniversary which was on December 1, 2007. D:Fuse, who is another world famous DJ and producer, also played at Euronight August 2, 2008.
In January of 2007, Pulse was reborn at the Granby Theater, and was held on the third Saturday of each month. Anthony Paul now had two separate parties that each drew in hundreds of eager electronic music patrons, and both were at full force.
In July 2007, Anthony Paul performed at Club Plastic which is located in Ibiza, Spain. Ibiza is an famous for having some of the biggest parties and best venues in the world.
Anthony Paul left Euronight in December 2008, and became part of a new, yet short lived club called Southern Star which involved world famous acts such as Noel Sanger, DJ Irene, and others!
In June of 2009 Anthony Paul was the opening act for Dean Coleman, a popular internationally known DJ. In August of 2009 Anthony Paul opened for The Crystal Method at The Norva, one of the biggest venues in all of Virginia.
