Portuguese-Canadian singer-songwriter

Nicole Maria Morgado Paulo, credited as Nico Paulo, is a Portuguese-Canadian singer-songwriter and designer, based in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.

She was born in Canada to Portuguese parents who returned to Portugal when she was two years old, and grew up in a small town called Bombarral near Lisbon. She returned to Canada in 2014 as an adult to pursue a graduate internship in graphic design. A longtime hobby musician who had not actively pursued it as a career, Paulo turned more actively to music as a creative outlet after moving from Toronto to St. John's in 2020, releasing the EPs Wave Call in 2020 and Live at First Light in 2021.

Her self-titled full-length debut album, produced by Joshua Van Tassel and Tim Baker, was released in April 2023, and was longlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize.

She has also contributed to Baker's albums as a designer and backing vocalist, and has toured with Baker as a supporting musician.
