Paula Kelley is an American indie pop singer/songwriter from Boston, Massachusetts. She began her musical career in the 1990s with the band Drop Nineteens before leaving them in 1994 to start her own career in songwriting. She became part of a whole slew of other bands before finally going solo with her first album, Nothing/Everything, which was released in 2001 on Stop, Pop, and Roll Records in the US and then later on Caraway in Japan, which gained her plenty of Japanese fans. The Trouble With Success or How You Fit Into The World was released in 2003 on the independent Kimchee Records label in the US and again on Caraway in Japan. She followed this up with a US tour and a tour of France after the album's European release through Polaris Musique/Sony. Her latest release is a collection of demos and "lost" recordings dating from the early 90's to today. Paula is known for her melodic, emotional songs, expansive instrumental arrangements and sweet singing voice. She plays piano, guitar, bass and harpsichord, among other instruments. She graduated from Boston University in 1996, receiving her Bachelor's Degree.
