That B-more sound

Paula Campbell

Paula Campbell

Maryland ties: From West Baltimore; attended Frederick Douglass High School

Musical style: R&B

Musical contribution: Her first album, "Who Got Next," was released on an independent label in 2004. The album sold well and peaked at 92 on the R&B charts. Since then she has signed with Sony BMG and her major label debut on Columbia Records is expected in early 2008. It's called—appropriately enough—-"I Am Paula Campbell." Look for it.

Extra notes: Paula Campbell is also a part-time radio personality at 92Q Jams.
