Off the Mic Paloma describes herself as simply, “A mother and a girl from Los Angeles who has been through a lot of relatable experiences". “I’m very optimistic. I try to see the good in others. I love being able to help and heal people. I’m a private person, so I don’t show everything on my social media. In my music, you can recognize moments of sensuality and strength. It’s all part of being a woman. That’s the message. It’s important for me to talk about other situations I’ve been in that other women can relate to.”
Paloma's upcoming project 'X Tapes' tells a true story of love, love lost and all the emotional highs in between. 'RAIN' opens the story by capturing the familiar experience at the start of a relationship, when passion, romance and energy completely overwhelm your best judgments and insecurities. The tape follows with the experiences after letting your guard down and taking a leap of faith, the moments spent realizing you left yourself vulnerable to somebody that doesn’t love as hard as you.
