At 27 years old, Victoria native Pauline Edwards writes and sings from personal experience. She has a genuine desire to inspire her listeners to explore their own life experiences and discover the potential for positive change through realization and acceptance.
Born to a Canadian mother and Trinidadian father, Pauline grew up listening to steel drum renderings of the great calypso, soca, classical, and jazz standards that her father would play. She absorbed a unique sense of tonal mix and improvisation by sitting under, leaning into, and singing along with her dad’s drums, and by falling asleep to these sounds every night for over fifteen years. At the age of nine, Pauline began her training as a classical violinist; seventeen years, 4 acoustic violins, one 5-string electric violin, 3 guitars, 2 microphones, countless hours of practice, and hundreds of performances later she stands tall with deep roots, arms up, eyes on the sky.
Emerging onto the scene in 2002 with Victoria's politically-minded jammers’ collective Kingbong, Pauline established herself as an energetic and versatile performer. She contributed backup vocals and violin to the 10-piece ska/funk/metal ensemble for three years, playing to full houses up and down the West Coast. Brought together in 2004 by social conscious and spiritual awareness, Pauline met up with two stand-outs in Toronto’s soul/groove music community: Greenlaw (Formation Records Group) and Lal (Public Transit Recordings), and has enjoyed sharing the stage and recording with both groups on and off since then. Between 2005 and 2008 Pauline toured Canada with indie folk-rock diva Caroline Spence, singing backups and playing violin in her band at festivals and venues across the country. In 2007, Pauline introduced her solo material to Canadians, as the opening act for the Wild Lily Gypsy Caravan tour. This traveling showcase brought seven up-and-coming Canadian artists together for a performance packed, five week cross-Canada tour.
Gaining momentum and fans across the country, Pauline returned home to work on new material for her debut studio album. After recruiting dedicated and skilled musicians Odin Lake (drums) and Trevor Lamphier (bass), Pauline began recording at Soma Sound Studio in the fall of 2008, with the help of producer Eric Hogg. The 7-song album, ‘There Comes A Time’ was officially released in April 2009, and has already been receiving attention from local media and the CBC.
sounds great we would love to play with you sometime. We just did another acoustic show last night at the Solstice and it went really well. Next time we do an acoustic show it would be cool to play with you and have you play some of that violin for us!! Not sure what time your gig ends on the 20th at the Solstice, but if it ends earlyish, we are playing at lucky probably at around mid night with a full band set!
