Doe Paoro

Sonia Jill Kreitzer (born September 19, 1984), known by her stage name Doe Paoro, is an American singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, California, United States, whose ethereal sound blends elements of pop, dubstep, soul, and R&B and bears strong influence of Lhamo, a vocally acrobatic, centuries-old Tibetan folk opera tradition.

[2] Her debut album, Slow to Love, which Paoro composed while isolated in a cabin near her hometown of Syracuse, New York, was released on February 14, 2012.

During this period, she also spent several weeks practicing silent meditation, which allowed her to reflect on the "space between silence and sound.

"[8] Her cover of Baltimore synthpop band Future Islands' "Little Dreamer" was released in December 2011;[9] original singles "Can't Leave You" and "Born Whole" followed in January 2012.

[10] Paoro has performed at Bonnaroo, SXSW, Osheaga, and CMJ, as well as numerous venues throughout the U.S.,[11][12][13][14][15] She often opens her live performances with an a cappella Tibetan prayer,[16] and credits Vipassanā meditation with having a strong influence over the themes explored in her work, which include attachment, detachment, compassion, and disconnection from the human experience.
