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 in the last two years 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.
Since her debut in April 2023 Jamila’s music has made it into the daily rotations of multiple Swiss national radio stations (SRF 3, SRF VIRUS, RETE TRE, RTR) and the newcomer has graced some of Switzerland's most renowned festivals, including the Montreux Jazz Festival.
Her newest single „Silver Lining“ tells the story of an intense, all-consuming infatuation with someone you barely know, but already feel a deep connection with. „A song for anyone who‘s ever gotten lost in the magic of a crush“, Jamila explains.
