On the microphone, her sultry and soulful delivery consistently captivates listeners, while her relatable stories of love, passion and heartbreak keep us coming back for more. It should be no surprise Paloma cites her primary influences as Aaliyah, Sade and Janet Jackson, as she also bends R&B to fit and express her individual style.

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.

Let Me See
