About Me:
Like 500,000 downloads of his debut mixtape. Or the mish-mash celebrity admirers including Kanye West and The Black Eyed Peas.
Those things don't happen overnight for most artists, but for PAZ, the stars couldn't have aligned more perfectly.
It seems like only yesterday that PAZ, 23, was a regular college student, making a name for himself playing every rowdy, beer-soaked party that would have him. His trademark sound -- a foot-stomping mashup of hip-hop, rock, and dance beats -- evolved almost by accident.
"I used to stop and start between songs," says PAZ, "but that meant the crowd would stop too. At some point I just started blending my music, like a DJ."
Word of this crazy kid who could rap, sing, and mash up live songs on the spot spread quickly, and soon PAZ was being invited to share stages with some of music's hottest acts, like Far East Movement, Girl Talk, Big Sean, and Mike Posner.
The increased exposure, along with a steady stream of bootleg mashups, spread word of PAZ quickly. And within months he had ridden a wave of social media fame to one of the largest fanbases of any unsigned artist on Facebook.
PAZ's critically acclaimed debut mixtape, "Young Broke & Fameless" was released in August, 2010. It was downloaded over 500,000 times in under a year.

tennis elbow, pumping my fists when people do cool stuff, Christopher Walken, electricity, rickshaws, student government, Teddy KGB, accessories, gambling on and promoting arm wrestling matches, getting weird/weirding people out, slippery slopes, parallel parking, condiments, prefacing statements with the phrase "I'll tell you what"

Dogs barking Christmas Carols, anything by John Tesh
Books:
I don't read books. I find magazines and transcripts of Keanu Reeves DVD commentaries much more informative.
