Paulina Garcia

Hello my name is Paulina Garcia! I was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico but moved to Connecticut and am currently in Boston for school. I play guitar and piano and am particularly drawn to the acoustic guitar because it’s so simple yet versatile. Although I struggle to define my musical style, I would say it’s percussive and inspired by my eclectic musical tastes, which ranges from Mexican folk music, jazz, bluegrass, synthpop, and more.
