PAUSA (Paul Santiago)

Welcome to the world of PAUSA MUSIC! I'm Paul Santiago, a passionate DJ, music producer, and performer, bringing the vibrant beats of urban, reggae, disco house, and hip hop to life. Raised in the bustling heart of New York, I was fortunate to learn piano under the guidance of Juilliard teacher Ruth Schonthal in New Rochelle. My musical journey began at the tender age of 7, and since then, I've been on an exhilarating ride, writing, producing, and performing.

I've had the honor of working with a diverse array of talented artists, including John Legend, Sean Lennon, Julio Correal, Jah Sound, Darrell Martin, Bruno Mendoza, and many more. My live performances are a unique blend of DJ mixing, live keyboard synthesizer, Synth Keytar, melodica, and singing, creating an unforgettable experience for my audience.

Since I started DJing in 1999, I've electrified parties across New York City and Brooklyn. Today, I continue to bring my soulful and deep house vibes to fans around the globe, performing live streams on my YouTube channel and local national shows in Colombia.

In addition to being a house music producer, I'm also a pianist, singer, composer, guitarist, and multimedia digital designer. My creative journey has taken me to recording studios like The Cutting Room in NYC and around the world, performing and sharing my music.

In 2024, I'm excited to be back with fresh house music and bi-weekly live sets on my YouTube channel @pausamix. Follow me on Instagram @pausmix to stay updated on my latest projects and performances.

Currently based in Bogotá, Colombia, I'm open to live show and studio project bookings. Whether it's DJing with my Pioneer mixer, adding the soulful touch of the melodica, or singing over my sets, I bring a unique and dynamic energy to every performance.

From the legendary clubs of NYC like Limelight, The Tunnel, Club USA, Twilo, Roxy, and The Palladium to the vibrant music scene of Bogotá, my journey continues. And yes, I absolutely love NYC pizza!

Stay tuned for my latest LP, set to release in early 2025. Let's keep the music alive!

 

PAUSA  (Paul Santiago) Español

¡Bienvenido al mundo de PAUSA MUSIC! Soy Paul Santiago, un apasionado DJ, productor musical y performer, trayendo a la vida los vibrantes ritmos de urbano, reggae, disco house y hip hop. Criado en el bullicioso corazón de Nueva York, tuve la fortuna de aprender piano bajo la guía de la profesora de Juilliard, Ruth Schonthal, en New Rochelle. Mi viaje musical comenzó a la temprana edad de 7 años y, desde entonces, he estado en una emocionante travesía, escribiendo, produciendo y actuando.

He tenido el honor de trabajar con una diversa gama de artistas talentosos, incluyendo a John Legend, Sean Lennon, Julio Correal, Jah Sound, Darrell Martin, Bruno Mendoza, y muchos más. Mis presentaciones en vivo son una mezcla única de mezcla de DJ, sintetizador de teclado en vivo, Synth Keytar, melódica y canto, creando una experiencia inolvidable para mi audiencia.

Desde que comencé a ser DJ en 1999, he electrificado fiestas en toda la ciudad de Nueva York y Brooklyn. Hoy en día, sigo llevando mis vibras de soulful y deep house a los fans de todo el mundo, actuando en transmisiones en vivo en mi canal de YouTube y en shows locales nacionales en Colombia.

Además de ser productor de música house, también soy pianista, cantante, compositor, guitarrista y diseñador digital multimedia. Mi viaje creativo me ha llevado a estudios de grabación como The Cutting Room en Nueva York y a recorrer el mundo, actuando y compartiendo mi música.

En 2024, estoy emocionado de estar de regreso con nueva música house y sets en vivo quincenales en mi canal de YouTube @pausamix. Sígueme en Instagram @pausmix para estar al tanto de mis últimos proyectos y actuaciones.

Actualmente, con base en Bogotá, Colombia, estoy disponible para reservas de shows en vivo y proyectos de estudio. Ya sea mezclando con mi Pioneer, añadiendo el toque soul de la melódica o cantando sobre mis sets, aporto una energía única y dinámica a cada actuación.

Desde los legendarios clubes de NYC como Limelight, The Tunnel, Club USA, Twilo, Roxy y The Palladium hasta la vibrante escena musical de Bogotá, mi viaje continúa. Y sí, ¡me encanta la pizza de Nueva York!

Mantente atento a mi último LP, que se lanzará en Marzo de 2025. ¡Sigamos manteniendo la música viva!
