From a young age, Paopao always dreamed of one day becoming a professional musician. Now, she's making it happen.
“When I was a kid, the music I remember listening to growing up was all very singer-songwriter. A lot of them were Puerto Rican because there was a big singer-songwriter Puerto Rican culture over there when I was living there,” Paopao said. “Kany García, Tommy Torres, Luis Fonsi, Juanes Juan Luis Guerra , I listened to too. That’s the music I kind of grew up listening to and that’s what my mom listened to — either that or Aerosmith on Saturdays for cleaning.
“I saw so much movement there, I was like, ‘This is where I need to be,’” she said of her publishing internship she had while getting her master’s. Through her internship connections, she landed her first job and began writing songs for other artists. “A lot of my songwriting is just me being, like, blunt. And I think that’s what people recognize when they hear my music and they hear my lyrics,” she explained. “I write and I’m really passionate about lyrics.”
“It was definitely my right path, but I don’t recommend it to everyone. Like, you don’t have to spend $60,000 on private education to be successful in music,” she said. While she’s just getting started as an artist, she says she's aware of and has felt the pressures of being a female in the industry. Whether people criticize her lyrics and style, Paopao stands by who she is because she is passionate about her work.
