Musician/Singer/Songwriter from the Bahamas based in New York City   Born and raised in Nassau, Bahamas, Kamilah started playing piano at age five. In and out of music lessons for much of her childhood, she ventured beyond her formal music training to feed her curiosity for new and different sounds. Seduced by music and unable to pursue anything else, she continued performing into her undergraduate degree at York University in Toronto, taking local stages playing guitar and singing at showcases whenever she could.   As she began composing more of her own songs, Kamilah looked to the lyrical and sonic techniques of Bob Dylan, Nina Simone, Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu, Sarah Vaughn, Radiohead and Amy Winehouse for inspiration. While she deeply admires these artists, her sound is the antithesis of imitation. Kamilah has clearly carved her own musical direction, using her expansive vocal range along with the piano and guitar as foundations for a strikingly personal sound. Her songs meld together sounds from the folk, neo-soul, and jazz genres, with lyrics most often derived from her life experience.   An exquisite voice, coupled with a consistent, fearless and tasteful performance style, make Kamilah an emerging artist with a glowing future on the contemporary music scene. Kamilah lives in New York City.
