Album Notes

LathamII was born and raised in Dayton, He became interested in music as an infant as his mother laid him down and played classical music while he slept. From that point his life has been a musical adventure. Paul experienced a huge vocal adjustment when he was about 10 years of age going from a high tenor to becoming a pretty resonant baritone. LathamII is extremely thankful for the influences in his life such as his father who was his first vocal teacher and his mother his first piano teacher.
