“Paula has an amazing strong voice that is melodic and sweet and paints the picture of island life” – AU Review

Exquisite vocals, powerful lyrics and gorgeous melodies have earned Paula widespread critical praise and made her one of the most sought-after live performers in Hawai‘i. She is a songwriter of depth and passion, praised for her intense emotion with a personal style that is widely appealing, endearing audiences to her around the world. It is almost impossible to peg her into a single music genre, modern Hawaiian soul.

Her first release Lilikoi earned her the Na Hoku Award (Hawai‘i’s “Grammy”) for Most Promising Artist of the Year. Her music has continued to blend tradition, innovation, and originality, featuring soul, reggae, and jazz–infused melodies, seamlessly mixing English and Hawaiian lyrics, with Paula on ‘ukulele and backed by a 2-3 piece band.

In 2021, she signed with Jack Johnson’s Brushfire record label, and released her first album under that label Rain On Sunday, featuring her single with Johnson and Ben Harper If Ever.

Her captivating voice is souful and compelling, immediately engaging audiences who become lifelong fans.
