Pauli‘s musical journey from the Oregon suburbs to the vibrant city of Los Angeles is nothing short of inspiring. Born from a childhood filled with the resonance of her dad’s guitar strums at the church, Pauli’s connection with music was established early on. Her bedroom became a sanctuary of creativity, where she honed her singing, piano playing and songwriting skills. At just 3 years old, she discovered her first piano and an instantaneous love affair blossomed.
Her innate ability to play by ear was unveiled, a prelude to her future in music. Embarking on her musical career, she recorded her debut single in 2010, and from there, Pauli continued to sculpt her sound, drawing inspiration from pop and infusing it with the rhythms of R&B and soul. With a penchant for crafting pop melodies enriched by rhythmic flows and soulful vibratos, she fashions a musical landscape rooted in the piano, laced with bass, synths and pads, conjuring an enchanting blend of 80s pop and the essence of the early 2000s.
Pauli’s latest release, the single “Wake Me Up In Paradise,” transports listeners into a realm of irresistible bouncy indie pop. Infused with a grooving rhythm and illuminated by bright synth-based arrangements, the track captures Pauli’s slick vocal deliveries that cascade into alluring melodies. The result is a shimmering pop composition imbued with undeniable commercial allure — a captivating soundscape that beckons listeners to get lost in its exuberant embrace.

Fuelled by a desire to transport herself to a place far removed from her reality, she wove a sonic tapestry that resonates with anyone who has craved an idyllic escape. The song becomes a vessel for freedom, encapsulating the yearning to transcend the mundane and find solace within the realm of imagination.
