Paula DeAnda (Paula Dacia DeAnda) was born on November 3, 1989 is an American R&B/pop singer and actress born in San Angelo, Texas. She currently resides in Corpus Christi, Texas.

Paula DeAnda grew up listening to Selena, Shania Twain, LeAnn Rimes, and other female vocalists, often performing their songs with her cousins at family gatherings. Soon she started taking piano lessons and singing around town, both as a soloist and as a backup vocalist.

She got her feet wet singing at weddings, local parties 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.

Paula DeAnda's major breakthrough came when she auditioned for Clive Davis and was signed to Arista Records on the spot. "Doing Too Much" was the lead single from her self-titled debut album. "Doing Too Much" was released in July 2006 in the United States.

Her self-titled debut album was released on August 29, 2006 and features guest appearances by Baby Bash, The DEY, 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.

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," and as of July 2007, DeAnda's latest single, "Easy", is receiving more and more airplay and is becoming increasingly popular as radio stations are beginning to play it regularly.
