Pauline Edwards writes and sings from personal experience. She has a genuine desire to inspire her listeners to explore their own life experiences, and to discover the potential for positive change through realization and acceptance.
Born to a Canadian mother and Trinidadian father, Pauline grew up listening to renderings of the great calypso, soca, classical, and jazz standards that her father would play on steel drums. She absorbed a unique sense of tonal mix and improvisation by sitting under, leaning into, and singing along with her dad’s drums. Pauline’s voice has been compared to the likes of Grace Slick, Bjork, and Sinead O’Connor. With influences ranging from Bach to Radiohead, her music reveals a matured personal style that sings to the melody of the soul.
An accomplished violinist, singer-songwriter, and poet, Pauline has collaborated with many artists throughout her career including James Kasper, Hon Soulo Chow, Caroline Spence, Charlene Birkbeck (Anneda Loup), Skyla J and Oz (Greenlaw Avenue), and LAL. She has toured across Canada, and throughout British Columbia, and has shared the stage with fellow Canadian folk and roots artists such as Felicia Harding, Jean-Paul De Roover, The Jessica Stuart Few, Laura Kelsey, and Paper Beat Scissors.
Pauline has released one studio album (There Comes A Time, 2009), four music videos Pampas Grass (2009) Wild Bend (2012), World Spins (2021), Shattered (2024), and a collection of self-published poetry books. The familiar themes of dreaming, time cycles, and the relationship between love and pain emerge in her writing and musical repertoire. An avid lucid-dreamer, Pauline published her first online course last year, FATED (2022), where she teaches her unique method of dream interpretation.
In tandem with her musical endeavors, Pauline is also a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor with the Association of Cooperative Therapists of Canada, and a Consciousness Advisor certified by Maharishi Vedic University. Pauline is currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia where she continues to write and occasionally perform.
