ABOUT PRIME

With the release of "Heartbeat" in 2014, and the positive press it received, PRIME has continued to focus on writing additional songs that combine Paul and Bryan's eclectic musical taste and influences, spanning Pop, Rock, R&B, Electronic, and Dance Music. The driving force for the songs were Paul's "hooky" melodies, to which he matched lyrics reflecting the peaks and valleys of his personal relationships. Without financial backing and a creative team, Paul had to leave his 9-5 paying job as a Web and Graphic Designer to devote his full energies toward managing the band and producing the visual aesthetics (Web, Photos, and Videos) that best depicted PRIME's music and lifestyle.

The duo first met when Paul was holding open guitar auditions for his project "Dexter's Kin." They released their first album, including the single, "Spill Out The Lies," which garnered over 125,000 plays on YouTube. Paul and Bryan continued playing establishments in the Tri-State area, and set out to refine and strengthen their vision by creating PRIME.
