How have you been? I've been well, but I've missed you.

[@Dawen]

Can't wait for the record, Mr. Deetah. Greetings from Taipei, my friend!

[@bettinnaleeHarriskk]

look forward to it...

[@GetCraftyCrafty]

I've just been craftying this whole summer. Nothing out of the ordinary. Haha

[@Horror1408]

So beyond glad that you're back. I love your music and its original feel and can't wait for more. Thanks a ton, man!

[@pauldateh]

Thank you. I'm glad to be back, too!

[@DirtyKnight]

Good to see that you are back, When I play back your music in Australia everyone wants to know who the artist is and they are directed to your channel. I think your creative work is awesome! ALL THE BEST

[@fredthedeadbread]

I am in awe with all of your tracks, but Theme for Burundi sinks especially deep with me, and makes me feel like the vibrating atom that I am. Thank you for sharing and caring. By the way, I ate ramen today.

[@jupitersnow1]

I listen to your music daily while I work on my art! Can't wait to hear the new album! Welcome back.

[@hawkeye4205]

Glad to have you back Paul. Missed your music, and can't wait to hear more. Best of luck friend!!

[@E2theBizzle]

So in 2007 I found your MySpace page and the hip-hop violin video. I downloaded that tune and all the others onto my computer. I no longer use that computer but the other day I fired it up and was looking through my old iTunes playlists and saw some of your tracks. I wondered, "What has that guy been up to?" Found you on KZbin and subscribed. Less than a week later and you post this video. I'm super stoked at the prospect of an upcoming album!

[@TheSuperguero]

So great to hear from you man. I've been dying to hear stuff from you again. One of the few people that has inspired me to keep playing violin. Going for bachelors in theory & comp. Don't make hold my breath too long :)

[@iPatrickProduction]

Miss you Paul, I hope you enjoy your life. I will wait your new video. Patrick (from Thailand)

[@kpwmusic]

dude, it's good to hear from you again, looking forward to the new record man, all the best from Australia :)

[@pauldateh]

Thanks! It's great to hear from you. Hope you've been well!

[@wendy143c]

I miss you. Welcome back. Looking forward to more more more music videos

[@Oedipial]

Hey Paul! Glad to hear you're back and with a new album coming out! I've been playing your songs on plug.dj and people always go "wow" when they hear them, especially on the live takes. Thanks for creating great music!

[@Brimaster101]

Welcome Back! Glad to hear the album is coming out soon, I've been missing your music!

[@pauldateh]

Thanks, Brianna! I can't wait to release the record. I've been working on it far too long, and it's definitely time to be done with it and put it out there for everyone to hear. I really hope you like it.

[@timichiban]

Always enjoyed your original music and your takes on recent music using one of my favorite solo instruments, the violin. Many times I feel when people make violin covers of music, there's nothing that stands out musically/technically. but you bring something great to the table and I thank you for that.

[@pauldateh]

Thank you very much for those kind words. I really appreciate it.

[@Fun_times_jr]

Chillin and watching my baby girl grow up so fast! Going back to school to get a bachelor's degree.

[@angeline1984]

Greetings from Malaysia... Yay you're back! Can't wait to listen to all the amazing songs in your album! :))

[@pauldateh]

Thank you so much! Hope you're having a great day!

[@KrzyBuddha]

regardless of the less uploads its awesome to see everything is well. you seem incredibly happy. whatever path it takes for you to stay this way is all good. its great to see an update! :D

[@pauldateh]

Thank you, Philip. Great to hear from you!

[@an1tab0n1ta]

Welcome back! we have missed you :)

[@fdiesta]

Welcome back! I'm excited to hear more of your music. Summer's been great haha. Definitely a lot better after seeing that you're back

[@pauldateh]

Thanks, Franz!!!

[@DwNecrid]

Glad to see you back! That background is tripping me out lol

[@pauldateh]

Haha, yeah! I don't know why, but the KZbin Capture app has some weird motion tracking feature that makes the background move. Super trippy.

[@syyu95]

Missed you and your music! Welcome back!

[@pauldateh]

Thank you! I'm glad to be back. I've missed you, too!

[@Handwritten22]

Yay! :) Glad to see you're alive and well! So happy to hear about your album, I'm sure with all the talent you have, the tracks will be amazing. Best wishes from Italia, in boca al lupo (good luck)!

[@pauldateh]

Thank you, Laura. I hope all is well with you, too!

[@Dlnqntt]

Not well on my end. Likely going to lose my house and car, but I am thrilled to see you back. :)

[@davidcameron927]

Paul, glad to see you back on here. I can't wait to hear more music!

[@pauldateh]

Thank you, Cameron. I'm excited to share more music with you soon.

[@Ogawalation]

I always like sharing your music with friends of mine.

[@pauldateh]

Thank you, Greg!

[@LizBesanaViolinist]

Hi Paul! I'm a huge fan of your violin playing. :) I hope to see you on Music Matters in Singapore, or any of your live tours. And, I'm so glad you're back doing YT vids. I also wish we can do a violin collab. Haha! #InMyDreams

[@CRPMoonlight]

Welcome back! Definitely looking forward to your record to come out, I'm sure the wait will all be worth it :)

[@pauldateh]

Thank you! And thank you!

[@morganlemons1694]

I've been great, It's nice to see you again :D

[@TheEpicureanChild]

Glad to see you're alive and well. The summers been interesting, but my fall seems a little more interesting awaiting your record to drop! Its long awaited with much teasing the past yr or so. Don't tease paul!

[@pauldateh]

Glad you're having a good summer! And yes, I promise no more teasing. The record WILL HAPPEN. Thanks for your patience. It means a lot!

[@redgrim113]

Hay. Just wondering how that record is coming. Looking forward to it. God bless man. Your awesome.

[@LessonsandLifestyle]

It's creepy that today I put some of your music for my students while they worked and you post a video! I hope everything is going amazing for you, Paul! Excited to listen to your new music soon. Sending blessings and love from Puerto Rico. =)

[@pauldateh]

Thank you! Best wishes to you and yours in Puerto Rico!

[@monix500-yvesn]

It has been way too long, glad to have you back

[@pauldateh]

Thank you. I'm glad to be back!

[@PraveenSawh]

Looking forward to your album Paul!

[@bridgeburner100]

Welcome back man, can't wait to see what this new albums like.

[@pauldateh]

Thank you! I can't wait, either. I hope you like it.

[@energyripple]

wow Paul you reply to every comment, impressive. I hope you make it big soon you deserve it.

[@pauldateh]

I definitely try to answer whenever I can! Thanks to you for taking the time to comment. Hope all is well with you, and thanks for your continued support!

[@CarmelaL]

PAULLLL!!! So excited! Super excited when I saw this upload (: Glad you're staying active! I just got back from an amazing weekend voluntering at a big local festival and had such an unreal time!! Snapping back to reality was a total bummer but eh, c'est la vie.

[@pauldateh]

Thanks, Carmela! Hooray for volunteering! I'm glad you had fun!

[@KathrynPatterson]

Hi, Paul! I'm glad you're back; I've missed hearing your music. I've been finishing my novel and working on a young adult novel about kids who pirate a video game and find the video game gets revenge in the real world.

[@pauldateh]

Glad to be back! The story of your young adult novel sounds great. Please let me know when it's published!

[@PaccoPow3rs]

Jeeez, I was looking forward to a "come back", Keep the good music going and of course keep being happy while doing so :)

[@pauldateh]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Nabilliban14]

Glad to see you back! Your tracks are the bomb :D

[@pauldateh]

Wow, thank you so much, Nabil!

[@rachwmy]

Welcome back! It's just so weird that last week i was just wondering to myself where have you gone & if you've forgotten your channel! It's great to have you back Paul :') Loving the awkwardness though! Hehe

[@pauldateh]

Thanks, Rachel! Glad that you enjoy my weird vlogs. Haha!

[@cablemotion]

Hi Paul, I'm excited about your new album! After your previous albums I've been collecting whatever I could find of yours on Soundcloud. I love your versatility, authentic style and how you put your spirit in your music. Sunshine Eternal and Darkest Point are just 2 examples of songs I love. Will you perform in San Francisco sometime? or LA?... So what have I been up to? Aside from my regular work, I've found some unparalleled, eye opening info about the big questions in life, and so been sharing it with everyone I meet. It can be read for free at JW.org in 700 languages, truly a website designed for all humanity. ...I hope you keep making music Paul you are one of my favorite artists!

[@jonjonmendez]

Hi, Paul! I've been good. Glad to hear you're well, too! This summer I've been trying new flavors of coffee. COFFEE!!! Over caffeinated I is. Random I is. Hi.

[@skydragonsjr]

Yey! So happy that you're back :D can't wait for your record to come out :) I don't mind waiting for an album to come out. I feel that it is more important that the artist himself is satisfied with his record rather than having it out early but the artist feels that they can do better. I believe that you will make great music and I am excited to hear it :D On a side note, my summer is doing ok, taking summer school and doing research, thank you for asking :) How's yours been?

[@pauldateh]

It's great that you're taking summer school. Always good to keep the brain busy! Thanks so much for being so patient and supportive about the record. I'm excited to share it with you soon.

[@VangggMouaa]

Welcome back, Paul!

[@luvperu1]

Good to hear you have been traveling ...happy and busy :)

[@pauldateh]

Thank you! Yes, traveling is great. I hope to do more of it soon. I think it'll help with my music, too!

[@melmusica]

:D we are happy to have any update we can get about you and your music!!

[@pauldateh]

Thank you!! That really makes me happy to hear.

[@bonnypierzina8451]

Hi Paul! I've been good trying new (to me) ice cream flavors. Signed up for art camp at the end of August.

[@pauldateh]

That's awesome you signed up for camp! Let's hang out again soon!!!

[@tessadelossantos9242]

Welcome back! Was wondering what was happening to ya! I really loved the violince series! Will you be doing more of that in the future?

[@pauldateh]

Thanks! I was just thinking about Violince the other day, too. I'd like to bring it back, but I'll have work on the concept a little more first.

[@wildcrzyangel]

yay! a new album!!! while you were away, I entered the "real world" and it is awful. I want to go back to school... so i started working in an elementary school. Now i can get nap time and get away from adult life.

[@pauldateh]

The real world can be quite awful, I agree, but I'm glad to hear that you've found a good compromise! Education is a great field to work in, and I respect you for it!

[@Zimtzicke911]

So cool you're back! :D ...or that you're saying you're back :D Actually I'm from germany, so when I saw you in Germany I was like "Nooo!" :D . Anyway, yeah, summer's been good...and I know exactly how you feel about the procrastination thing! I have been writing a book for almost two years now and I actually wanted to finish it last year in September.... :/ buuut I am confident I can finish it this summer, before I have to start working in my senior years of gymnasium (german schoolsystem be crazy do' xD). Got about another 100 pages to go but with hard work and dedication... Haha what am I talking about...with caffein and an overheating laptop it may be possible that I can have my book published THIS year :)

[@pauldateh]

Yes, procrastination can be a difficult challenge to overcome. Glad to hear that you're almost done with the book, though! Good luck on the remaining 100 pages!

[@may.z]

ey, wow long time no see but i can totally understand :) what i've been up too? well school is finito and i'm going to make the entrance exam for music college in vienna/austria for cello. so i've been practising, ya know :) hope that'll go well! nice to see you back, i love your music. it's awesome to run to!

[@pauldateh]

Thank you! Congrats on finishing school, and best of luck on your entrance exam!

[@DaftPunk201]

Nice to see you again

[@pauldateh]

Thank you!

[@hcrcowgirl]

I've been good. Getting my associates degree in December!!! I've missed your videos even if they are just your awkward little vlogs that make me laugh.

[@pauldateh]

Congratulations in advance on getting your associates degree! And thanks for watching and commenting. It means a lot! :)

[@hcrcowgirl]

Paul Dateh Thank you!

[@FrVitoBe]

cool you have been to my country

[@pauldateh]

Yes! It was great!

[@Fantapriorie]

[@michaelfokias]

I live in Belgium :)

[@joshuarussell1481]

Hey Paul, I got a job that doesn't start till January, but I still got so I won't be perpetually broke in a few months. Anyways, i'm glad you're back youtube ain't the same without you.

[@pauldateh]

Congratulations on the upcoming job! Hope you get to enjoy the free time you have before then. And thanks for the kind words!

[@DatCrazyAsain]

Yooooooo he's back!!! Yessss

[@pauldateh]

YESSSS!!!!!!

[@tryckYss]

pioneer!

[@youngherradura7082]

Paul is like the Asian Brad Pitt. No joke

[@jdimstryoda]

Paul, take your time with your record. I'm sure that fans would rather hear and wait for an amazing record, rather than hearing you rushed and not 100% best you know it can be!

[@wolfejams]

Yo man, I'm a super huge fan, and an Ableton Push owner myself. I was just watching your jam session with Brain Wady. How did you guys customize the layout on the pad lights? Are there skins or something you can get online or did you program that yourself?

[@FatherofEunice]

I like the shirt!

[@pauldateh]

Thank you! I love PBS. :)

[@maurissadixon4218]

We missed you lol!

[@pauldateh]

Aw, thanks Maurissa!

[@maurissadixon4218]

Paul Dateh :)

[@therealmonsterrr]

HI PAULLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!

[@senibaj]

Hey dood! Do you think Issei Nisei will eventually continue to be a thing again? I really enjoyed the dynamic between you and Taiyo in those educational minisodes.

[@pauldateh]

I hope so! Taiyo has been very busy with work lately, but maybe I can convince him to come back for a reunion episode soon. :)

[@GhostDrewSenju]

how did you know I though you were dead
