About Me

This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

Pauline is an independent singer/songwriter from the Okanagan, British Columbia, Canada. She is a member of Music BC, SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada), CARAS, BCCMA and CCMA (Canadian Country Music Association).
In 2005, Pauline entered one of her first song compositions; Rainbow Café into the Music BC (MAP Program). It was this song that managed to win her 3 days of studio time at The Factory Studios in Vancouver, BC. In April 2008, she was finally able to go to Vancouver and record and produce her debut CD. The CD was officially released in June 2008.
Pauline was very fortunate to be able to hire and work with some of Canada’s music "best" on her recent CD project. They include: John Maclean and Sheldon Zaharko of The Factory Studios, Pat Steward on drums (The New Odds, Bryan Adams, Matt Good...), Shaun Verreault on electric guitar (solo performer, Wide Mouth Mason), Doug Elliot on bass (The New Odds) and Tyson Naylor ..boards.
Since the release, Pauline has been extremely busy self-marketing and promoting her CD extensively via the internet; through community, college and online radio stations and live performances. She has most recently begun a radio promotion campaign with RadioDirectX based out of Toronto, Ontario to assist to promote her CD to radio stations worldwide.
One of Pauline’s most recent music accomplishments was being a featured “Independent Artist” on the Chevy Cross Canada Countdown with Casey Clarke during the November 14 - 18 Canada-wide broadcast. Country Music Television (CMT) is seen in over 7.8 million Canadian homes.
Pauline featured "Independent Artist" on CMT (Country Music Television) with Casey Clarke - November 14 - 18, 2008.

From Peter Merrett, Music Manager - PBS 106.7 FM, Melbourne, Australia
Dear Pauline,
I have just listened to your cd and have found it to be a wonderful example of where Country music should be heading.
Rich powerful voice coupled with very strong songs, aided by top accompaniment. As l listened l was drawn more and more into your stories and more and more under the spell of Pauline Kyllonen.
A name not heard here before, but once the shows l have allocated to get their copy this will quickly change. l truly believe the powerful voice will instantly grab everyones attention. You have grabbed mine, congratulations on this release.
Your CD has been allocated to the following programs...
1. Acid Country - David Heard, Thursday 3 to 5pm.
2. 5 Feet High & Rising - Myles O'Neil-Shaw, Monday 1 to 3pm.
3. Culture Clash - Lisa Palermo (19 year show), Saturday 3 to 5pm.
We sincerely thank-you for your generosity with your music. In a time of uncertainty it takes huge commitment to send out your life's work, here we appreciate your faith in PBS in presenting your music to Australia.
Kindest Regards
Peter Merrett

August 8, 2008 - I received both of your songs. They are both perfect for our station. I am sitting here listening to “Wasn’t Thinking About You” as I type and I must say it's my personal favorite. Thank you so much for the submissions, they will be on rotation on our playlist tomorrow.
August 15, 2008 - Thank you so much. I forwarded your comments to the station manager. I said these are comments from the 1 requested artist on our station. Are you aware of that?
