Michelle Paulino

You think of Brazil, you think of beauty, heat and music. One more item is now added to the plate: love in a smile.
Born twenty three years ago in one the most amazing cities in the world, Rio de Janeiro, Michelle Paulino is the oldest of two singing daughters. Coming from a military family, Michelle was raised all over Brazil, making her love for people increase as she got in touch with new ways of life. Languages and culture were of great interest to her. Early in life she felt that touching peoples lives all over the world somehow was her true calling.
Her career began at a very young age when she was cast as the lead singer for an Easter cantata at only 12 years old.
Shortly thereafter, Michelle made her next move to become a worship team leader in one of the biggest churches in Brazil, bringing music to life in a church of approximately 7 thousand members, a very bold move at such a tender age. She had her sights set on a bigger picture.
This exposure to the world of music and the offering of her voice to Gods wprship helped inspire Michelle to pursue music as a ministry, willing to bringing souls closer to God. Michelle, however, had yet another dream to fulfill. She wanted to become a marketing professional. Attending one of the top 5 universities in her country, Michelle was set in the pursuit of Advertising as her main career .But music to her has always been more passion than a business.
So it was in school that she was able to take her next big step by creating her first logo, press kit and flyers to promote her worship band Arca Para as Nações (The Ark to the Nations), created by her and her best friend Maxwell. This was a huge boost for Michelle in believing that her message would be received with open arms by people.
She found herself submerged in the hardship of making into the music industry, as the band suffered for not being commercial enough. The big change was yet to come.

After joining a Christian relationship website, with the intention of improving her English, Michelle found herself in love with an American Marine, which would become her husband and her partner in life. Being married at the age of 22, and moving to the United States to start a brand new beginning with her Marine husband she saw twice in her life, a career in music seemed to be a very difficult dream to reach.
Being contacted on Myspace by Delbert Harris, CEO for Javo Records, Michelle faced the reality of a dream coming true. She would become the first as Pop/R&B recording artist for Javo Records.
You would be impressed with what a simple Myspace page can do, she says.
Working with renowned Christian artists such as Lil Raskull and with great producers such as CurtBeatz productions, she made some prosperous connections in the music business.
From this point on, it's been all uphill for Michelle.

In the process of completing her debut album, she attracts audiences far and wide as her very first single Spring Time made it to over 20 national Christian and secular radio stations, to the biggest secular radio in Trinidad & Tobago and to radio stations in the UK in less than a month of its release.
Bringing an outside view on life, Christianity and people, Michelle Paulino is willing to say out loud what all of us scream inside, inspiring many to bring morals and godly principles back to our lives through music.
