Paolo Santos

Paolo Santos Singer Songwriter And Acoustic Guitarist Was Born On June 29 1975. He Is A Bachelor Of Science In Business Economics And Has Taken Up A Year’s Fellowship In International Relations At Webster University In Geneva Switzerland . He Once Thought He Would Try A Career In Either Field Or Both. In Fact From School He Went Straight To Work In Marketing And Finance. How He Has Ended Up Singing And Playing Professionally Is A Story Of Romance And Conflict. Paolo In Fact Has Been Into Music Since His Preteen Years Longer Than He Has Been Into Anything Else. For Much Of His Life However He Kept At It Guardedly Even Secretly Lest He Upset Elders Who Did Not Think Music The Proper Career For Him And Who Fed Him Tales Of Disappointments Of Penury Of Tragedy Of One Sort Or Another Suffered By Sons Who Did Not Listen. He Still Asked To Go To Music School. Once Decidedly Unable To Have His Way He Contented Himself With Learning And Practicing Music On His Own - Reading Listening Watching And Then Doing. He Sang And Accompanied Himself On His Father’s Old Hobby Guitar Hoping Yet To Be Able One Day To Muster The Courage To Follow His Heart. ‘The Tug Of Music Was Just So Strong It Was Tearing Me Apart Inside ’ He Says. The Courage Came In Calculated Amounts Before Breaking Into One Explosion Of Happy Abandon. First He Sang And Played To Himself. Next He Tried His Music On Audiences Of Partying Non-Paying Friends. Then Finally He Just Quit Corporate Existence And Plunged Himself Headlong Into A Life And Career Of Acoustic Music. To His Own Surprise Paolo Took The Contemporary Scene By Storm. It Has Been Only His Fourth Professional Year And Already His Face And Sound Have Become Familiar Nationwide. He Has Brought Out Several Albums Each Landing At The Top Of The Charts. He Has Shared The Stage With International Artists Like Duncan Sheik Jason Mraz And Keith Martin.
