Paulway’s passion for art and music came at an early age of six where she was influenced with Disney animation from her parents. At the age of 12, she began building her passion and skills as a vocalist throughout her childhood. Disney animation was a big influence in her early years and have brought her to where she is today. Now residing in San Francisco and being a huge Disney fan that she is, Paulway was thrilled to find out that a museum honoring the man behind the magic, Walt Disney, was to open on October of 2009.
In a debut performance in San Francisco to honor Walt Disney for all the great magic he has created for people of all ages, “A Tribute to Disney” Recital by Paulway Chew was hosted at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music on June 18, 2011.

She was also invited to perform again the musical recital, "A Tribute to Walt Disney", at the Walt Disney Family Museum on February 11, 2012.
Ever since visiting the museum and attending many discussions with talented Disney artists and directors, etc., Paulway decided to combine both of her talents to continue and pursue her career.
