The Circle S6: Meet Paul Russell, Caress Russell’s Brother
Circle S6 premiered and one contestant Caress Russell is joining the show as her brother Paul Russell, a rapper and a singer. Caress makes the decision to pose as Paul and infiltrate The Circle as a catfish.
If his appearance seems familiar to you, it could be because you’ve heard his popular song, “Lil Boo Thang.” Yes, Paul is Paul Russell, the rapper and musician whose 21-second teaser of the upbeat song went viral and received over 10 million views in only the previous year. He has since dropped two more singles, and later this year, he will go on a tour with Meghan Trainor.
Paul and Caress are close and very supportive of each other’s endeavors. “1st you’re gonna go to @paulrussell page and click the bio for tix! Then you’re gonna get ready for an epic event!!! Let’s goooo!!! #boothang #paulrussell #laconcerts #nyconcerts,” Caress posted on her Instagram in October 2023.
Paul was signed by Kings Dream Entertainment who was a senior at Cornell.
Talking about his journey into music industry, Paul shared in an interview, “For most of my life, I had absolutely no intention to pursue music, but I kept meeting people who encourage me and help me to continue doing it. I started making music in middle school, going to little rap battles in the hallways and eventually writing songs with my friends in our free time. Then, in high school, I had an assignment where I had to take on any independent project I wanted and write about my experience. Since I remembered how much I enjoyed making music in high school, I used that opportunity to write an album. Once I got to Cornell, I told a friend about the album, and she sent the link to some guys who were trying to start a student-run record label at Cornell. From then on, I just always had people egging me on.”
Paul believes that the “where” of his story is important since every place has contributed to his growing awareness of the racial and social divides that influence our society. He frequently addresses these distinctions as important themes in his songs. Paul, who is well-known for his gruff voice and lyrical approach, credits jazz and blues as his main sources of inspiration. His goal is to use a synthesis of influences in his music to talk about issues like success, culture, and faith.
Talking about Caress, she works as a Creative Communication Specialist/ Creative Director at Neon Entertainment. She was a talk show host at Arizona PBS until 2021 from 2020. She holds an MFA from Arizona State University and a bachelor’s in mass communications from Wiley University in 2011.
