Pauline Kyllonen is an independent singer/songwriter who from the Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada.

She is a member of Music BC, SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) and most recently the CCMA.

Pauline is relatively “new” to the "business" of music and even though she knows it can be a tough business to break into...she is always up for the challenge.

Pauline has worked together with various BC bands/artists and as a solo performer over the past few years in and around the Okanagan area.

Pauline has just completed recording her "self-titled" debut EP at The Factory Studios in Vancouver in April 2008, with the assistance of the 3 days studio time she won through the Music BC MAP Program, for her song "Rainbow Cafe" back in 2005.

Pauline's CD is due to be released LATE MAY 2008!

Pauline was also fortunate enough to be able to hire some of the Canada's "best" musicians on her CD project. They included:

Pat Steward (The New Odds, Bryan Adams, Matt Good...).

Guitars: Shaun Verreault (solo performer, Wide Mouth Mason).

Bass: Doug Elliot (The New Odds).

Keyboard: Tyson Naylor.

Pauline is currently working on arrangements/bookings for upcoming tour to promote her new CD. Dates will be posted here as they are confirmed. Stay tuned!
