Special Guest, Paul Croteau
1h 7m · PublishedIt's time to discover, learn, and play Jazz Piano with special guest Paul Croteau.
Paul grew up in Bloomfield, CT. His father was a passionate jazz fan with a modest but finely refined record collection, immersing him in the sounds of Dexter Gordon, Oscar Peterson, Dave Brubeck, Phil Woods, Jack McDuff, and many other jazz greats. He took up the saxophone at the age of 10, then taught himself piano during high school. He studied classical saxophone with Philip Delibero, earned All-State and All-New England recognition, along with several jazz soloist awards during competitions at Berklee in Boston. He then attended the renowned music school at North Texas where he studied with Jim Riggs. Paul played lead alto in the 1988 Disneyland All-American College Band in Anaheim, and won first place in the 1989 North American Saxophone Alliance Jazz Competition in Washington DC. Upon graduation Paul traveled the world as a freelance musician for many years playing in a variety of genres from classic jazz and shows to R&B and smooth jazz.
Later in life after building a family with his North Texas college sweetheart, Paul shifted his focus to composing music for television and film, forming Yo Paulie Music (YPM) in 2015 out of his home studio in San Antonio, TX. Today, Paul creates not only classic jazz and solo piano works, but genres he never imagined writing such electronic/orchestral tension music, string quartets, hip hop and trap, and pop music of all kinds. Today Paul's music has been heard on more than 75 unique television series, across 40+ networks in 30+ countries, as well as in feature films. You can find Paul's music on Spotify, iTunes and other streaming services, and he has a humble YouTube channel dedicated to teaching people about writing for tv/film.
