Jamila

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 inside the four walls of her bedroom. Drawing inspiration from songwriters such as Holly Humberstone and Gracie Abrams 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 been picked up by Swiss national radio numerous times and the singer has graced some of Switzerland's most renowned festivals, including the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Her new EP „Boyfriend Of The Year“ is a whirlwind of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery, unfolding in real time. Across four tracks, Jamila unpacks the chaos of her mid-twenties with raw honesty and anthemic melodies—moving on and being stuck, jumping headfirst and holding back, all while trying to figure herself out.
