Once Momma Blanche's waters broke on the stage of Manchester's Free Trade Hall it was obvious that Paulette was born to perform - and perform she has. Aside from her modelling past, her jet-set DJ present and her a&r / production future, she juggles a weekly live mix show for Ministry radio, writes columns and reviews for Dotmusic and is an accomplished TV Presenter. Here are the highlights:

Straight, gay, house, hip-hop, dark or disco - Paulette can mix up a storm and mix it all without smudging her nail polish!
CLUB CREDITS: Freelance - 1996 - present
Given the equipment, Paulette is a triple-Technics technician and whilst the Ministry of Sound, Cream, The Zap, Queer Nation, Wild Fruit, Faith, Vertigo, Sundaysonic, Lazy Dog, The Cross, Atelier @ The End, New Opera @ AKA, Turnmills, Thompson's (Belfast) and Carey's (Coventry) always make Paulette very welcome, Europe and the US have also fallen for her blend of hot house and vicious vocals with a twisted, techy depth. She is the only female resident on rotation with Ministry of Sound's international tours and has headlined this year for them across Europe, Brazil, Spain, Finland and she became the sound of the Ministry in France when she began her bi-monthly residency at Le Queen in Paris.
1991 - 1995: 'Flesh' at the Hacienda - monthly resident.

TRANSATLANTIC
This year Paulette took Montreal by storm. After being spotted rocking the Nervous Records block party (they knew she was already legendary for her Denny's sets for the last three years), the organisers of Black and Blue booked her to play at Twist (Gay Pride, Montreal) this August. The public reaction to her appearance was so phenomenal that they swiftly booked her again, but this time to HEADLINE Black and Blue's main event alongside Tom Stephan and Marc Anthony at the Olympic Stadium. Montreal still hasn't recovered and she will be returning before the year is out!
This year's Nervous / Armani AX block party hit the US television and MTV Fashion news. Paulette is also a Billboard and Vibe Magazine babe, having headlined for them at Billboards 7th Annual Music Summit party plus she supported Erick Morillo at the closer for the 8th Summit at Centrofly in New York (July 2001). Across the US she has spun at Subliminal Sessions @ Centro-Fly (New York), Red (Washington), Giant (LA), Transit (Chicago).
