About
The artist
Nico Paulo is a Portuguese-Canadian singer-songwriter, visual artist, and designer residing in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. Originally from Portugal, Paulo relocated to Atlantic Canada where her intimate, daydream-like chamber folk quickly captured national attention. Her self-titled 2023 debut LP, co-produced with Tim Baker of Hey Rosetta! and Joshua Van Tassel, earned a nomination for the prestigious Polaris Music Prize and widespread critical acclaim. With her warm vocal presence and lush, floral arrangements, Paulo represents one of the most distinctive new voices in Canadian folk music.
