Meet the artist!

An Albuquerque native, Paul Salazar's vibrant, vital music belies a life of no small adversity. Three times Paul has climbed into the ring with cancer, and three times he has emerged victorious, even managing to write his first solo CD while undergoing a bone marrow transplant. In spite of these challenges, he has successfully raised two great girls as a full-time single father, balancing a full-time day job to boot. Through it all, somehow, Paul's elegant, tuneful music has thrived as surely as the colorful flora that bloom in the arid New Mexican soil. Moreover, Paul's unquenchable musical wanderlust has taken him miles from home, both artistically and geographically. His travels currently find him back in the studio, adding the finishing touches to his latest compositions. Join Paul on his journey—there's no telling where you'll end up, but you're in for one hell of a ride.
