About Me

Hey, my name is Paul Bethers, and I've been making music under the alias New You since August, 2005. I released my debut EP, By the Skin of Your Fingers, on February 23, 2006, and I released my debut full-length album, Volo, on June 12, 2007. Volo is available now for free download (see the banner below). I am currently writing and recording new songs. For booking and remixing opportunities, you can send me a message here. If you'd like to chat on AIM, feel free to message me at ComeDownNow27. Thanks for listening, and enjoy!
To my new friends...
I don't use friend-adding software or anything of the sort, so if you've received a friend request from me, you can be sure that I sent it personally. I send friend requests to twenty people a day--people whose comments I noticed on my favorite musicians' profiles. I'm a serious advocate of MySpace etiquette, and I'm just trying to promote my music while maintaining a semblance of dignity. I genuinely appreciate your friendship and kind words, and I'll try to keep this interesting.!-START Block to Place Custom Banner at Top of Page-! !-Create div with image.

Well cut our bodies free from the tethers of this scene and start a brand new colony.
