ABOUT

Testimonial:
Andrea Kirwin - Musican, Artist, Teacher
‘Soul mama Paula Boo is a salt of the earth kinda woman, whose music is as rich and authentic as her colourful stories and smile. Her voice, with all its honeyed amber tones, is divine to listen to, and her original tunes can make you laugh, dance and forget about your troubles. She's an absolute delight both on and off the stage!

Bio

Paula Boo, Island songbird, weaves her acoustic soul through her music and her art. Stories from her Canadian, Lebanese, French, English and Norwegian heritage and her life’s experiences on Minjerribah/Tjerrangerri /Terrangee (North Stradbroke Island) over the last 30 years, create a universal and uplifting voice that celebrates her passion for the natural environment and her love of family and community. An artist, a musician and environmental scientist, Paula Boo has many a musical and often hilarious story to share through the resonance of her deep connection to community and the natural environment. She sings about what it’s like to traverse both the creative and logical worlds. She sings from a pure space. She sings for peace, for love and laughter. Wherever Paula Boo is, there is sure to be good times, real talk, tears of joy and heartfelt connection.

Paula first arrived on Minjerribah/Tjerrangerri/Terrangee (North Stradbroke Island) in 1989 as a backpacker from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. She fell in love with the Island and its breathtaking natural beauty, open beaches, deep lagoons, bushland and unique creatures from both land and sea. ‘Straddie’ as it’s also colloquially known, has been her home since 1992.

Music was always an important part of Paula's life since a young age. Paula continues to grow as a musician and performer as she shares melodic stories. Her music style has evolved into acoustic soul with hints of jazz, blues, R&B, gospel and folk.

Paula is available for acoustic solo gigs but can also provide duo, trio or full band on request.
