Comment: Paulina is not notable on her own, apart from her band. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:34, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
Paulina "Pau" Villarreal Vélez (born 5 February 2002) is a Mexican musician. She is the drummer, singer, pianist and songwriter for the band The Warning.
Life and career[edit]
Villarreal was born in Monterrey, Mexico. Went to a bilingual high school, so she is fluent in English.
From her very early childhood she was taught for classical piano and since the age of 6 (after playing the video game Rock Band and trying the toy-drum) for drums. The 'Rock Band' game and the passion of her parents led her to rock music. Her father uploaded multiple videos to YouTube where she's playing drum covers for well-knows pop/rock hits.
Neil Peart was the biggest infulence for her drumming style.
At the end of 2012 Paulina Villarreal formed her band, The Warning, with her sisters Daniela and Alejandra. In this band she trades off lead vocal duties with guitarist Daniela. In 2014 Kirk Hammett of Metallica saw a videos of her and her sisters playing a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman".[1] and Hammet praised Paulina's drumming, saying, "The drummer kicks maximum ass."[2]
In 2015, after the Enter Sandman video went viral, Villarreal and her sisters were invited to The Ellen Show as musical guests. Ellen DeGeneres supported them with a financial donation that helped the sisters to get a scholarship to attend Berkelee College of Music's five week program[3] - with an age waiver because the required entry age level for this program was 14 years.
By that time Paulina Villarreal was already writing her own lyrics and music. The band's first EP was recorded and released in 2015.[4]
In addition to drumming and singing, Villarreal also handles the entire stage experience during the band's live shows, using a laptop computer on her left equipped with Ableton Live 10, plus two special MIDI pedals, to control the timing of the show, additional instrumentation, and the visuals appearing on the screen behind the band.
In 2022 Villarreal held a Drum and composition masterclass presentation at Soundcheck Xpo, in Mexico. [5]
In 2024 Villarreal debuted as artistic director by creating the official video clip of the song "Qué Más Quieres".[6]
Awards[edit]
2023 Modern Drummer's Readers Poll “Up and Coming” category.[7]
2023 Drumeo Rock Drummer of the Year award.[8]
2024 Global Award at the Decididas Summit. - For “transcending borders and inviting us to dream big.” Upon receiving the recognition Villarreal said: "When they told me about this recognition, the first thing I felt was insecurity and intimidation, doctors, astronauts and engineers came, and I said 'I'm a drummer', but my mother explained to me that what I do has an impact on the lives of others."[9][10]
Personal informations[edit]
She is the middle of the three Villarreal sisters of The Warning.
