She took ballet classes in Dalston and later pursued A-levels at City and Islington College. Her journey continued at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance in Leeds, where she studied contemporary dance while working as a hip-hop dancer at the nightclub LoveDough. Paloma's eclectic interests led her to Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, where she completed an MA in theatre directing, all while juggling various part-time jobs, including stints as a sales assistant at Agent Provocateur, a burlesque cabaret singer, a bartender, a life model, and a magician's assistant.Paloma's music career began to take shape in 2007 when she met her future managers, Jamie Binns and Christian W hlberg. Impressed by her unique voice and artistic flair, they saw in her a raw talent waiting to be unleashed. Her first notable work was a duet with Josh Weller titled "It's Christmas (and I Hate You)" in 2008, marking the start of her musical journey.
