Acclaimed New York City-based singer-songwriter Doe Paoro discovered her true creative self in letting go of the idea of being a musician to heed an inner directive. In a different guise, Paoro was known and respected within the NYC music scene as a soul singer with a modern spin. Though, during a period of personal reflection away from music in 2010, Paoro went to travel by herself for eight months, throughout Egypt, Greece and India. In India she unintentionally came across the Tibetan folk opera singing tradition, and, in a poetically ironic twist, became enamored with its expressive qualities. When she studied this music form from a Tibetan instructor, it reawakened and deepened her connection with the voice. It broke down her inner creative and emotional blockings and revealed fresh, intimate, and powerful modes of expression. Doe Paoro’s highly personal approach to furthering the soul music lineage has garnered her comparisons with innovators such as D’Angelo, Lykke Li and James Blake. These redemptive and moody songs explore universal themes of love, loss, nature, and existentialism with bold vulnerability, smoldering, futuristic R&B elegance, and mesmerizing textured ambience. Reflecting on her path, Doe Paoro says: “I realized that the second you give up ambitions and expectations, you make room to have it all.” It’s a transformative message that’s connected with fans. “We’re all dealing with a similar set of questions. Music speaks to our experience together.”

It depicts the colours and sultry details of Montreal’s nightlife.”
