Joshua Paul -aka- Black Indian is a product of Washington, DC who has been in the business since his preteen years. The son of an entertainer and a minister, he sought to find his own niche in the world. From his genetic bank he drew the ability to entertain and inform at the same time. Grabbing the microphone at every open mic night he could find, BI captured a following and the ears of accomplished artist throughout the Washington Metropolitan area. One night, a member of the Freestyle Union heard him and introduced him to a well-known jazz artist by the name of Steve Coleman. Mr. Colemans popularity in the European jazz community gave way to introducing an amateur Black Indian to a European tour experience. This was the start of his professional career. Serving as the third person of the Freestyle Hip-hop group Opus Akobem , he has toured France, Italy, Sweden, Spain and Germany on five separate occasions. A popular French magazine reviewed Mr. Coleman and the groups performance and gave them kudos but was most impressed with the young American; an urban teen that captivated audiences everywhere they went. Opus has recorded two projects for the record label BMG at their Paris, France based studio. As well, he has lectured during the summer term 1996 at Stanford University in California on Urban Music. During the summer of 2005, he was privileged to perform in Tokyo, Japan.
In 1999, Black Indian was signed to MCA as a solo performer and recorded his first album Get Em Psyched with 17 well documented renderings. His CD and two of his videos, Get Em Psyched and Hold Em Down, have received playing time on U.S. radio stations and music video channels. As well, Indian has written and starred in commercials for BET. He is the founder and president of BI (Born Intelligent) Music, Inc.
