Paul Beatty recorded for almost 25 years from his home studio in Whitestone, New York. He has recently relocated to Jackson Heights, the town where he was born. Some of his more significant efforts include a 3.5-year tenure (1989-1993) as a full-time musical producer for Esquire Records (Huntington Station, NY). While there, he went on to produce more than 200 compositions. 75 of them in 1992 alone. In July of 1995 he had the opportunity to produce his first professional motion picture soundtrack for the short-film, 'BEYOND REASON'. Private screenings were held later that year at Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Film Center, NYC. The production was so well received that a full-length version of the film (renamed 'INTERVENTION') was eventually completed in October of 2003. Paul also provided the score for that feature, which played at numerous film festivals throughout the United States. It won the 'Best In Show' & 'Best Drama' awards at the 2004 Philadelphia Video Festival. The commercial stage is also no stranger to Paul: July of 1999 saw him produce several musical beds for the FLEISCHMANN'S YEAST national ad campaign via PBS. In the spring of 2000, he created jingles for a series of ads for EXPRESSWAY OIL LUBE CENTERS in Westchester, New York. Also in 2000 he began an affiliation with Joseph Grau's HYPERSPACE PICTURES. There, he would go on to produce musical themes for future animated productions including the award winning stop-animation short film, 'THE HAPPY PRINCE'. And for icing on the cake, that year was highlighted with the release of 'BOOKENDS'. In 2005, another brand new 14-track CD entitled 'INITIAL CONTACT' was released with partner Russell Craig. This 'vocal heavy' compilation shows off even another angle to Paul's versatility as a supporting musician. "There is a professional work ethic that needs to be achieved & I will always go for it," says Paul. Although a late bloomer for the piano (beginning practice of the keyboard at age 15), he has certainly made up for the lost time. A veteran of more than 600 live performances (& literally thousands of hours of production time) helped to iron out the wrinkles.
