PAULINE BERRY

VOCALIST AND MANAGER

Pauline is both a vocalist and manager of “ABBA Heaven!” and “Sugar Town”. Her previous line-up was “The Mermaids”, which disbanded in 2019 and was replaced with “Sugar Town”..

Pauline is a career vocalist, performing covers with her own lineups, including 90s Auckland circuit rock band “No Paparazzi”. Prior to that she was a resident nightclub and session singer. She has worked with an array of superb NZ musicians, including current, highly sought after keyboard player Stuart Pearce, who is also producer of the band’s sound. Before that her line-up featured legendary late guitarist Martin Winch.

As a result of delving into and performing many different vocal styles, she developed a love of too many to choose just one, so she happily performs R & B, pop, country, soul, funk, rock, rock n roll, 1950’s style jazz and blues plus European power pop – in the form of ABBA!

 A quirky side career has been performing as a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, including on the NZ version of the TV Show “Stars in their Eyes”. Putting the singing first, Pauline has been requested to appear at special occasions all over New Zealand, to sing “Diamonds Are A Girl’s Best Friend” and always “Happy Birthday”!

In the recording studio Pauline has sung on many artists albums including her own original CD,  a huge number of jingles and in 2022 still works in the recording studio as a session vocalist.
