Paula is an accomplished cabaret singer and jazz vocalist who hails from Philadelphia. She is often compared to Ella, and some of the great contemporaries of that era, but Paula brings her own distinctive panache to each song she sings…expecially the songs from The Great American Songbooks of Porter, Rogers & Hart, Jobim, Bacharach and others. With a voice like butter, she enjoys a great lyric that tugs at your heartstring, as well as a lyric that will make you fall off your seat with laughter. Her passion for the music ignites the emotions of her audiences and allows them to feel the stories that each song tells.
