Paul Michael DelVecchio Jr.^[1] (born July 5, 1980), known as Pauly D and DJ Pauly D,^[2] is an American television personality and DJ. He is best known for being a cast member of MTV's reality show Jersey Shore.^[3]

In 2011, he made a three-album deal with 50 Cent's G-Unit Records and G-Note Records.^[4][5] He is the first of the Jersey Shore cast to get his own spin-off show, The Pauly D Project.^[6]

DelVecchio was born on July 5, 1980,^[1] in Providence, Rhode Island.^[7] He is the son of Donna DiCarlo and Paul D. DelVecchio Sr.^[1] He has said that he is of "100% Italian" descent.^[8] He has one sister, Vanessa.^[9] He began his career as a local DJ under the moniker Pauly D. One of his professional idols was DJ AM.^[10]

DelVecchio was cast in 2009 for Jersey Shore. He has stated that him being chosen for Jersey Shore had nothing to do with his music, but that they instead sent him a Myspace message after liking his look. After he sent them his number, "The casting directors called me from LA and they said they wanted to send down a camera crew to Rhode Island to film a day in my life. They filmed me at the gym, filmed me tanning and filmed me going to the club. Six months later they said I got on the show. I never really auditioned."^[10]

His appearance in the show resulted in popularity with what Time dubbed "seriously rabid fans."^[11] He won the 2011 Teen Choice Award for Choice Reality Star: Male. He was a contestant in June 2012 on the Fox show called The Choice.^[12]

Filming commenced in 2012.^[11] According to Time, "We're guessing Pauly D got the spot [instead of Nicole Polizzi or Michael Sorrentino] because he genuinely seems fun and easy to get along with. He's not known for diva antics like The Situation and doesn't appear a drunken mess at times, like Nicole and Michael do."^[11] The show, originally called DelVecchio was later renamed The Pauly D Project. It premiered on MTV on March 29, 2012.^[6]
