I think Fabiana is doing well for herself... She did that Pitchfork Music Festival thing in Paris & rest of em are "Alumnus" now
where have you guys been seeing that she and reinen are alumnus?
last.fm still has the bio history (unless u mean something else)
for some reason it's not showing up for me
where have you guys been seeing that she and reinen are alumnus?
When Reinen & Ruthven dropped their new tunes they sent a mail regarding the new tracks and they went by " Paul Institute 'Alumnis' "
tbh it's the worst "institute" of all time lmaoo
they ain't doing s***
they founded it 5 years ago and not a single artist they signed dropped a full length project nor made it in the industry
they don’t even promote their artists
all they do is build them sites and f*** off for another year
kinda over it now, they had so much potential but it seems to be a bit lacklustre. great talent no doubt but one single every few years? come on
maybe we'll finally get the mystery + evil vinyl this year...
coming on 10 year anniversary of the singles
Watchin U demo is almost 6 years old bro
World still not ready for the CDQ
World still not ready for the CDQ

Jasmine is really going to be 10 years old next month.. WTF
10-year BTSTU anniversary, 10-year Jasmine anniversary, 10-year leak anniversary... maybe there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe Jai will start a new era of music in 2023 or 24

London singer/producer/songwriter Jai Paul grew into a highly influential artist on the strength of only a few properly released singles and some pirated demos that were widely distributed amongst ravenous fans. Coming out of the Myspace era with a sound that incorporated both smooth R&B falsetto vocals and scattered, beat-forward production, an early demo led to a contract with XL Recordings. After his songs made the rounds in an unofficial capacity in 2013, Paul largely disappeared from public view until 2019, when he returned with new music and commercially released his stolen demos as Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones).
Jai Paul grew up in northwest London and was making music regularly by the time he was a teenager. Drawing from both J Dilla's collage esthetic and a long line of bedroom producers, the young artist developed a futuristic take on pop music all his own. A demo for his song "BTSTU" slowly caught on through BBC airplay and critical coverage online in the start of the 2010s. He signed a deal with XL Recordings in 2010, already at the vanguard of a new era of pop production. Tracks by superstar artists like Drake and Beyoncé soon showed up with samples of Jai Paul's sole track, furthering his notoriety. In 2012, he released a new song, "Jasmine (Demo)," online. In 2013, 16 tracks of unreleased Jai Paul music appeared online out of nowhere, mysteriously uploaded as untitled files by an unknown source. These unfinished tracks, touted as a leak of his debut album, were unauthorized and possibly even the product of a laptop stolen from Paul himself. He issued a statement urging fans to not download or purchase the songs, but the damage was already done. The partially cooked tracks took on a life of their own for listeners, and Paul, who had always been slow-working and private, all but disappeared from the public eye for the next six years.
In 2019, he returned, officially issuing the pirated tracks from 2013 as Leak 04-13 (Bait Ones) along with the release of two brand-new tracks, "He" and "Do You Love Her Now."

Back in 2016, the elusive Jai Paul was thrust into the limelight when he revealed a new venture, formed with his brother A.K. Paul and Muz Azar, called the Paul Institute. Considering how rarely the Pauls release music, this news was incredibly exciting; what was less clear, however, was what the Institute actually was. All it really had was a website instructing fans to sign up with a phone number, and a ‘work with us’ section at the bottom that provided an email address.
As it turned out, the brothers were looking for artists and creative people who might want to work with them on the venture. Later in 2016, the Paul Institute launched itself as a record label and music platform with a debut release from A.K. Paul himself, “Landcruisin”. Then, in 2017, it introduced the world to two new artists, Fabiana Palladino and Ruthven. Over the past week, the label has released two new singles from those artists, and brought two newcomers on-board: HIRA and REINEN, who also released a new track each.
Taken together, these tracks show that the Paul Institute is putting out some seriously advanced the pop music, with major songwriting chops and a sharp, hypermodern production sheen. While the Paul brothers have a hand in the music that goes out, each artist has a unique sound and individual perspective that they bring to their work.

dang yall still talking bout jai? he ain coming back but ok
"He" might be better than anything on bait ones barring str8 outta mumbai, imagine a new album full of new songs
Jai s*** still sound so f***ing fresh bruh
From 2014
I did something with him last week, some vocal production on a new song. We finished it, whether he wants to put it out or not I don’t know. It’s just a very long process for him I guess, he’s been working on (his album) for years. One of the things that I sort of identified was that he might benefit from some help using vocals. But his music sounds so good, he doesn’t need any help, I think he’s perfect
At this stage Jai was working on his album still and this quote is from The xx
Convinced all of these ppl make music part time
Pretty sure ruthven is a firefighter and makes music part time
