Zacchae’us Paul

Zacchae’us Paul is a 24-year-old multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer with deep roots in Black music and the African diaspora. His debut album Jazz Money offers a fresh, idiosyncratic take on jazz, infused with Atlanta hip-hop, gospel, and Caribbean rhythms. Paul started making music at a young age in a self-built home studio, learning to play by ear without formal theory. His musical journey took him from churches in Atlanta to music schools in Puerto Rico, where he further explored the rhythms and stories of the diaspora. Jazz Money was recorded in New York, Atlanta, Puerto Rico, and Philadelphia, and is full of personal stories, humor, and social reflection. With contributions from the likes of Terri Lyne Carrington, Morgan Guerin, and his fiancée Melanie Charles, Paul delivers a sound that is both timeless and contemporary, a bridge between generations.
