Nico Paulo & Band Concert

Nico Paulo is a Portuguese/Canadian songwriter, performer, and visual artist. She moved to Canada in 2014 to pursue her career, originally setting down roots in the vibrant Toronto arts community, and eventually moved east to become an essential part of Newfoundland’s celebrated music scene. Paulo’s highly anticipated, self-titled debut LP, was released in spring of 2023. The heritage of being from an immigrant family has always been present, exciting and colourful when it comes to understanding different places, the cultures within, and the experiences they bring out. Maybe for this reason, I knew I would follow an artistic career. I found myself engaged in something related to music or visual arts very regularly. In high school I studied Arts, then Design in University in Lisbon and in Austria, and the move to Toronto happened right after graduating in 2014. Being solo in a new city definitely made me nostalgic and longing for my past, I was in my early 20s. Ever since moving from Portugal I have been writing original songs and experimenting with my singing. The longing for Home, the Ocean and the reality of Love seem to be my favourite themes and inspirations. Nico has toured internationally appearing everywhere from intimate house concerts and festivals to Massey Hall. Early in 2025 she had her first child, who will be accompanying her to her summer shows!
