Who is Paulie Garand?

Paulie Garand, real name Pavel Harant, is a rapper, producer and director. He was born in Liberec in 1987 and, according to E15, splits his life between Liberec and Prague. His official website describes his style as lyrical indie rap. He first reached a wider audience with the 2006 demo Mozoly, and E15 counts him among the first rappers to make it onto commercial radio playlists. He played The Culture in Liberec in 2026.

With Lipo he formed the project Básníci před mikrofonem, later known as BPM. They released the albums Slova (2007) and Horizonty (2009), and Horizonty won an Anděl award in the hip-hop category for 2009. After BPM he joined the Ty Nikdy label, whose crew album Akta X won the Anděl in the Rap category for 2018. His solo debut was Harant (2010), followed by V hlavní roli in 2012.

With producer Kenny Rough he released the albums Molo (2014), Boomerang (2015), DANK (2018) and Molo II (2024). E15 writes that Molo took both of them into the top league of Czech hip hop. Nirvana (2017) and Mezi prsty (2020) both peaked at no. 2 on the Czech album chart. In July 2025 FC Slovan Liberec presented its anthem Modrobílá krev, on which Paulie raps and whose lyrics he helped write. In February 2026 he celebrated twenty years on the scene with a sold-out concert at Forum Karlín. The same year he founded the label Corso Records, published the book Evoluce Haranta and announced the album Voda z fontán with producer ODD for 26 November 2026.
