Paula Bil\u00e1 is a singer-songwriter from Chiclana, Spain, currently based in Amsterdam. She began her musical journey at the age of nine, studying viola at a conservatory. It was during these formative years that she discovered her passion for songwriting and singing, which has since become the core of her career.<\/p>

Her debut album, Love & Hate, was created during her five years living in southern Ireland. Produced by guitarist Bill Shanley, known for his work with Mary Black and Ray Davies, the album was released in both Spain and Ireland and was featured at the Canadian Music Week festival in 2014.<\/p>

In 2017, Paula recorded her second album, Choices, in Madrid with producer Manu Sanz. The album was launched at the iconic Galileo Galilei venue and marked a significant milestone in her career.
In 2020, driven by a desire to reconnect with her roots, Paula moved back to C\u00e1diz. During this period, she began a duo project with double bassist Joan Masana. They recorded new music through a series of live videos and toured extensively across Spain and Europe, participating in jazz festivals such as the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. Now based in the Netherlands, Paula continues this project with Italian double bassist Mauro Cottone. They are working on a new album and have performed at notable Dutch venues, including De Rode Bioscoop with the AMARTE concert series, the Grachten Festival, and Pand P Podium in Eindhoven. They are also planning to record a trio album with renowned drummer Giacomo Camiletti.<\/p>

In addition to her duo project, Paula is actively involved in other jazz initiatives. She is a member of The Leaning in Underground quartet, which is set to release an album in October 2024. Paula has also participated in the Fuensanta Music Project, performing at Teatro Barrio Alto in Lisbon and De Doelen in Rotterdam. Additionally, she has been involved in jazz projects in Spain, including the Andalucia Big Band and the Clasijazz Big Band Pro.”<\/p>

Paula’s music seamlessly blends jazz and folk influences with her Spanish heritage, reflecting her ongoing evolution as an artist.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
