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. With a beautiful disposition, sweet island vibes, R&B, and Jawaiian roots reggae in the mix, her music has been called 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. Rain on Sunday has just garnered two top awards at the Na Hoku (Hawai'i's "Grammy") Awards: Female Vocalist of the Year and Contemporary Album of the Year.

Her captivating voice is soulful and compelling, resonating with audiences who become lifelong fans. Committed to giving back, she is part of the Turnaround Arts program of the Hawaii Arts Alliance in partnership with The Kennedy Center in Washington DC.
