PAULA CARLENE NELSON – WILLIE NELSON’S DAUGHTER

Daughter of singer and musician Wille Nelson, Paula Carlene Nelson decided to follow the path of music herself. She was born on October 27, 1969. Like her father, music became a big part of her life. She would accompany her father on his tours and would, to some degree, be exposed to the industry and the workings of a musically-inclined career at a very young age. Inevitably, she chose this as her career path when she grew up.

She became a country singer, and also a DJ. For four years, she was a DJ at the Texas radio station KDRP-LP, or “Sun Radio”. In October 2016, she was awarded “Female Artist of Year” by the Country Music Association of Texas. Paula continued to make music even though her life’s difficult challenges and made her father an inspiration for sure through it all.
