As the entertainment industry leans into the turn of the digital revolution, riding the cusp of social and political climate change, Pook Diesel is redefining the role of the modern artist. Labeled the Renaissance MC, he is truly a modern day renaissance man, contributing to a wide variety of performing arts and standing as an activist for community youth.
Pook Diesel was born Paul Lawrence Watson III, in New Haven, CT, in 1974, moving to San Diego at age 15. In accord with the gifted men of the Renaissance, Diesel sought to develop his skills in all areas of knowledge, physical development, social accomplishments and the arts. He attended SDSU for his Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and earned his Masters Degree in Human Services from Springfield College.
Pook Diesel’s contributions as a singer, songwriter, actor, television and film producer, is matched only by his advocacy of community outreach. Like da Vinci and Alberti, Diesel holds the philosophy that man is empowered and limitless in his capacities for development. He imparts these principles to youth through his community programs teaching them to embrace knowledge and develop their capacities as fully as possible.
During Diesel’s typical work week you’ll either find him in the edit bay producing for television or recording at home studio for his next hip hop album. Although Diesel’s talent is multi-faceted, his first passion is the music. Influenced by actor/rap artist Mos Def and The Roots’ front man, Black Thought, Diesel is a complete MC who combines real skills, clever wit and a loose, uplifting vibe.
His production credits include TV BET awards, BET Honors, and Hip Hop Documentaries on Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Richard Pryor, and Coretta Scott King. His most recent production work on American Gangster – Season 3 has placed him once again next to long time mentor, producer P Frank Williams. His acting credits include “The Vapors”, “Be Easy” and Christian film “He Who Finds a Wife.”
Currently, Pook Diesel is working on his next album “Mixtape Adventures of Pook Diesel – Arrest The President”.
