Early life

Paula DeAnda was born in San Angelo, Texas, to Mexican-American parents. She began performing songs by her favorite artists with her cousins at family barbecues. At an early age she started taking piano lessons and singing around town, and also would play in local weddings, and in charity events, both as a soloist and as a backup vocalist. Her first public performances included weddings, local barbecues and other functions in San Angelo. In 2002, DeAnda's family decided to move to Corpus Christi in order to further her career in music.

Music career

2005-2007: Paula DeAnda

Paula DeAnda's major breakthrough came when she auditioned for Clive Davis and Kenneth Brown SR. then was signed to Arista Records on the spot. "Doing Too Much" was the lead single from her self-titled debut album. It was released in July 2006 in the United States. This was followed by the release of the debut album on August 29, 2006 which features guest appearances by Baby Bash, The D.E.Y., Bow Wow, Lil Wayne, V Nice, Ak'Sent, and P.B.

DeAnda worked on the album with several noted musicians including Natalie, Baby Bash, Sean Garrett, Ne-Yo, and producers Happy Perez, Mike Aguirre of the Record Breakers and Stargate. Her second single was "Walk Away (Remember Me)" featuring The D.E.Y., which was released in two versions - one that contains a rap verse, and another that features DeAnda's vocals exclusively. It was written by Ne-Yo, and Christina Milian, with Stargate in charge of production. Her self-titled debut album was released in Japan on October 25, 2006. The track listing included two new songs, "Alegria" and "Easy."

On December 12, 2006, DeAnda released "Backstage With Paula DeAnda" (on iTunes), and it includes four acoustic versions of songs from her original album. The featured songs include: "Doing Too Much", "Walk Away (Remember Me)", "When It Was Me", and "Good Girl." The album also includes a track of DeAnda having a conversation with Angel Garcia.

In early 2007, Arista released a third single entitled "When It Was Me" with "Easy" following on July 2007 with well-known rapper Bow Wow.

DeAnda's single "Walk Away" was certified gold.¹

In October 2007, Paula visited Monsingor Bonner & Archbishop Predergast High School in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania to sing and meet the students.

She is currently working on her sophomore album, due to be released in 2009. Paula uploaded the song "Stunned out" featuring Yung Joc on her MySpace page, but it is not an official single. The song "Roll the Credits" is the official first single,as stated on her record label website.² The single was to be released on March 31 for radio airplay.³ The single was released on iTunes on March 24, 2008.

Charity

On September 29, 2008, DeAnda went to a charity festival for Hurricane Ike in Dallas, Texas. She performed her hits "Easy", "Walk Away" and "Doing Too Much". Then, after the performance, she volunteered to be in a dunk tank full of mud. Rapper Yung Joc threw a ball to dunk DeAnda in the mud. DeAnda said "It was the nastiest thing I had ever done in my life".

The charity festival made nearly two Million dollars in relief to Hurricane Ike.

Personal life

Paula DeAnda attended Lake View High School in San Angelo, TX, and Mary Carroll High School in Corpus Christi, Texas.

She has three siblings, including two sisters named Brandi and Jessica, and a brother named Sterling.

Her mother, Barbara, is a nurse by profession who has put her career on hold to travel with Paula. Her mom is largely responsible for being the guiding force behind her career, and because of this DeAnda attributes much of her success to her mother's selfless guidance.

Her musical influences include Tejano vocalist Selena, R&B singer Aaliyah, and country singers Shania Twain and LeAnn Rimes.
