Paula Saunders is a familiar face in the Kansas City music scene. Brought up in a musical family, Paula has been singing since she was 2 years old. She started out singing in the church and has been a part of a local gospel group since its inception in 2005. She recognized early on that her voice had a different sort of quality and versatility that is not often heard in music today, and recentl...y started to branch out as a solo artist in the world of R&B and Jazz. ​Her claim to fame has been the ability to sing beautifully in the alto and tenor range, something that is uncommon among many female vocalists. Paula’s rich, sultry tone has been compared to such voices as Lalah Hathaway, Oleta Adams and Anita Baker. Though her voice rests comfortably in the lower register, Paula’s mother—a classic Soprano—also trained her to use her upper register, leading many to refer to her as one of the most versatile singers in the city. BIO Paula performs regularly with well-known and sought after local artists in Kansas City such as Langston and his band, Prototype. She has also graced the stage with and had her vocals featured on the album of National recording bass player and Kansas City native, Julian Vaughn. Paula has had the opportunity to work with nationally known producer Asaph Ward and she has had the honor to open for such chart topping artists as Joe, Kenny Latimore and Mint Condition. ​Whether she’s rocking the house with an upbeat song from Chaka Kahn or serenading the crowd with the smooth sounds of a Luther Vandross classic, Paula’s voice is sure to capture—and keep—your attention.
