[edit] Biography
Paula was raised on the west side of Baltimore, and attended Frederick Douglass High School, where she took voice lessons.[1] As a teenager, she sang in vocal groups with Tamar Braxton and Blu Cantrell, but none of the ensembles took off.[2]
Her first major exposure was in the 2002 Baltimore Idol, where she placed in the top 8.[1] After the competition, DJ Rod Lee of Baltimore radio station 92Q contacted Campbell, and together the two cut a track, "How Does it Feel", which featured local rapper Tim Trees and became a local radio hit in 2003.[1] In 2004, she released her first album, Who Got Next? on independent label Blakbyrd Music, which hit #92 on the Billboard R&B charts.[3]
She opened for Kanye West at a Baltimore show and sang on a remix of Fat Joe's "Lean Back" which received some national attention.[2] She began writing a second album in 2005 but placed the project on hold after signing to Sony BMG in May of that year, who had planned to release her second effort, I Am Paula Campbell, late in 2006.[2] The release of the album was delayed, however, and it has yet to be released.
In the meantime, Campbell won a Glamour Magazine music contest and shot a music video for the song "Ain't Nobody Stupid", directed by Ciara.[4] "Ain't Nobody Stupid" was written by Ne-Yo, with whom Campbell toured in the summer of 2007.[5]
