Born Brandi Pauline Barksdale in Jacksonville, NC and raised all over the city of Philadelphia, Pauli has been exposed to many facets of music, including Rhythm and Blues, Country, Folk, Electronica, Hip Hop and combinations of these elements. Since youth, her passion has been writing and expression through her unique gift of song. She has experimented with Folk and soulful Blues aside from her natural Pop interest. "The title 'singer/songwriter' separates you from the average singer or musician in that you begin with an emotion and melody comes with lyrics all at once. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pauli has paired up with James Poyser (Axis Music Group, Eryka Badu, Anthony Hamilton), Robert "E.S.T." Waller (Beyonce, Mario), Peter Donnelly (The Figgs, Amos Lee, John Legend) Steve Duberry (Tina Turner), Steve Mckie, Adam Blackstone (Bilal, Jill Scott), Nyce Boy (Jennifer Lopez, Fat Joe) and many other accomplished talents, all seasoning her for a flavorful and robust spread of music and lyrics to come. "Pauli is exactly like no one else". Expect from her, a voice that is crystal clear and words that hold weight without burden. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Myspace Contact Tables
