Pauline Kyllonen is an independent singer/songwriter who resides in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada. She is also a proud member of Music BC and SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada).
Pauline is relatively “new” to the music business and even though she knows it can be a tough business to break into…she is always up for the challenge.
Pauline has been influenced by many songwriters/artists; she finds it difficult to pick one, or even a few who have influenced her over the years. She says, “My passion for music has been influenced by anyone whose song has made me sing, dance, smile or cry.”
Pauline works with various BC bands/artists and as a solo performer. She is currently working on sheduling shows/appearances for the 2008 year. Shows will be posted to her calendar as they are confirmed. Stay tuned!
Pauline is scheduled to go into The Factory Studios in Vancouver, early Spring 2008 to begin recording her debut EP/CD with the assistance of the recording time she won through Music BC.
