Pauline Wilson is Hawaii's own Grammy Award winning
vocalist. Her sultry, powerful and pristine voice distinguishes her as a
true, natural vocalist of many capabilities. She loves jazz,
innovates and blues, gives new meaning to soul tunes and radiates true
spirit in her Hawaiian songs.
Herb Caen, famed San Francisco columnist, once wrote: "She could sing the "Q" section of the Terre Haute phonebook and tears would well up in my eyes. "Pauline was born & raised outside of Hilo, Hawaii and lists her dad, an accomplished musician, as a continuing inspiration and supporter. Her professional debut was with Larry Williams, Kim Hutchcroft, Bud Nuanez, Ken Wild, Jerry Hey and Bob Wilson as the popular Hawaii group called "Ox". In 1976 they moved to Los Angels to advance their career and changed the group's name to "Seawind". They per-formed throughout the world and she recorded four albums with them. The next nineteen years were spent performing, doing commercials, touring and recording soundtracks and back-ground vocals as a session artist for the likes of Bruce Hornsby, Bill Medley, Brenda Russell, Michael Colombier, Celine Dion, the Crusaders and many more. She has toured with Seawind, Boz Scaggs, George Benson, Michael Paulo and the Pauline Wilson Band through the US, the Philippines and the orient. In 1979 she received a Grammy Award for her duet, "Friends", with George Benson on the "In Harmony" album.
