To Swiss-Palestinian indie-pop singer/songwriter Jamila, making space for vulnerability and self-reflection is the whole point of songwriting. She became interested in music at a young age but for a long time she found it difficult to imagine her songs living anywhere else other than in the safe space of her bedroom. It was only recently that she found the courage to invite others in and share her music. Drawing inspiration from songwriters such as Holly Humberstone and Lizzy McAlpine Jamila captivates her audience with her dreamy guitar sound and poetic directness. Authenticity is always at the heart of her songwriting: Jamila‘s diary-like lyrics often feel like a spontaneous confession - honest, unfiltered and full of urgency.
Her EP "Boyfriend Of The Year" was released on April 2nd.
