Born and raised in Syracuse, New York, Paul Valentino’s passion for music runs deep. His father, Paul, has spent over 30 years as a musician and lead singer for one of Upstate New York’s most recognized party and wedding bands, Primetime Horns. Growing up surrounded by live music and packed dance floors, Paul always knew he would have to carve out a legacy of his own—just not as the frontman of a band (singing was never his strong suit).

After years of hearing the wrong songs at middle school dances, proms, teen nights, and even the legendary “Rock ’n Bowl,” Paul decided to take matters into his own hands and step behind the decks himself. What started as a desire to control the vibe quickly turned into a full-blown passion. While attending SUNY Oswego, Paul’s DJ career took off as he spun four nights a week at nearly every bar and club in town, becoming a staple of the local nightlife throughout his college years.

Following graduation, Paul made the move to Orlando, Florida to pursue his professional career—while continuing to build his name as a DJ. Since 2017, he has become a regular presence across Central Florida’s nightlife scene, holding residencies at some of the area’s most well-known venues including Celine, Swiggs, Tier, The Office, Underground Public House, and Kitty O’Shea’s. Paul has also DJ’ed A-list celebrity parties such as Floyd Mayweather, Tyreek Hill, Gabriel Davis, “Over the Edge” weekend, and NFL Pro Bowl weekend in Orlando.

A lifelong Buffalo Bills fan, Paul has also played a key role in growing the Bills Backers of Orlando into the premier NFL Sunday destination in Central Florida. In addition, he helped expand the Seminole Club of Greater Orlando at American Social, creating an electric atmosphere for College Football Saturdays.
