Mini bio
How it started.
Paola sang in Medellín’s children’s group Tares Club at ten and signed with Codiscos at fourteen. Opening concerts for Vicente Fernández, Alejandro Fernández and Juan Gabriel helped introduce her to bigger audiences.
Finding her audience.
Her 2009 self-titled record, produced with Iván Calderón, included Voy a olvidarte. The Francy duet Que sufra, que chupe y que llore widened her audience in 2016; Murió el amor followed in 2017.
Songs to share.
Her work keeps returning to despecho, the hurt and release that follow heartbreak. Sin Rodeos earned a 2026 Grammy nomination, and Despecho a 2 Voces brought her together with Jessi Uribe for an 11-song album and European concerts.
