NICO PAULO & BAND
Nico Paulo is a Portuguese multidisciplinary artist, singer-songwriter and performer. After graduating from Design School in Lisbon she lived in Toronto for seven years and is currently living in St. Johns, NL.
Amongst the visual arts Nico has been a singer since she can remember, she sang for multiple musical projects growing up in Portugal and it wasn't until she moved to Canada in 2014 at age 21 that she picked up the guitar and started paying close attention to English folk music. Four yers later she gave up her full time Design job at IKEA and began writing down original music, experimenting with her singing layered with light strumming.
Her music is eclectic and mostly derivative from alternative influences weaved into her Portuguese roots and the melancholy of the ocean. A tender and dreamy Indie folk, distinct by her singing melodies and harmonies that pierce through the heart.
She performs her solo project and is the back-up singer and percussionist for Tim Baker's and All Hands band that tours across Canada, USA and Europe since 2019.
Nico released a single Please Dont Forget in 2019 as well as her debut EP, 'Wave Call in 2020 with accompanying music videos. The EP featured Toronto musicians Brava Kilo, Evan J Cartwright, Kwame Appiah-Kubi and St. John's Musician Tim Baker, produced and engineered by David Gavan Baxter. She presented the EP to Europe, starting in Portugal followed by UK, Ireland, France & Germany.
The latest releases, the EP "Live at First Light" recorded for Lawnya Vawnya Artist Residency and the Portuguese cover of the folk song "O Cavaleiro e o Anjo" by Jos Afonso, were both recorded in Newfoundland.
Nico is currently preparing a new release, this time an LP Produced by Josh Van Tassel and Tim Baker. To be announced soon.
