About Dustin Paul
Blending Passion, Artistry, and Success
Dustin Paul has been performing live and recording in studios since he was 14. As the former frontman of a band, he garnered millions of views on YouTube, played at major music festivals, and performed on national television. In 2015, he signed a publishing deal with The Royalty Network in NYC. Just two days later, he landed his first major label cut with RCA/Sony Music. Since then, Dustin has pursued a solo career, collaborating with talented DJs, songwriters, and producers from around the globe. These partnerships have resulted in groundbreaking achievements for both Dustin and his collaborators.
His accomplishments include charting in the top 10 on iTunes and Spotify viral charts multiple times and winning an International Portuguese Music Award for his song “I Keep Coming” with DJ/Producer Michael Teixeira. The song won "Best Dance Performance" and was also nominated for "Song of the Year." Additionally, Dustin has worked with renowned DJ Diego Miranda, ranked among the world’s top 100 DJs. Their song “Shiver” was play-listed on RFM, one of Portugal’s most popular national radio stations.
In Winter 2018, Dustin will launch his solo career with the debut single and video, “Good Day To Be Alive.” Even before its official release, the song was licensed as the rolling credits track for the critically acclaimed documentary Roll With Me. The film, backed by 8-time Grammy-nominated artist Avril Lavigne, directed by award-winning Lisa France, and produced by Emmy-winning Thom Beers, has premiered at prestigious film festivals across the U.S., picking up two notable awards. “Good Day To Be Alive” was also a winner in the 2015 International Songwriting Competition, one of the world’s largest with over 18,000 submissions from 120 countries, and in September 2016, it won the Unsigned Only competition. In the Summer of 2021 Dustin signed his first recording contract with Djooky Records (legendary producer Brian Malouf, & former CEO Universal Music Ukraine - Andrew Dakhovsky).
Dustin's voice, songwriting & releases have led to fruitful partnerships with companies such as Nissan, Coca Cola, MTV, Sony Music, RCA Records, Whole Foods, Warner Music, MLB Network, & KissFM; to name a few.
In addition to his solo work, Dustin offers added value to his collaborations by seeking commercial, TV, and film licensing opportunities, as well as major label artist placements, for his projects with clients’ permission. This approach amplifies the impact and returns for both Dustin and his collaborators.
Few artists approach songwriting and performance with the dedication and passion that Dustin Paul brings to his craft.
