Originally from Seattle, acoustic/surf roots chanteuse, Kym Campbell sounds like she’s been recording music for most of her life. After picking up the guitar back in the states some eight years ago, it wasn’t until she moved to Australia, that Campbell self-produced her acclaimed, debut EP So Alive, and thankfully, there was no going back. Often described as an infusion of roots, folk, reggae, surf and island music with an understated, organic sound, Campbell’s style draws comparisons to artists such as Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, The Waifs and Tristan Prettyman.

Kym Campbell’s influences span an array of genres and her music reflects a lifestyle of travel, sun, ocean, surf and song. With a vocal style so distinctive and incomparable to any other artist, Campbell’s delivery appears effortless. In 2008 she was a finalist for the Top 10 Music Oz Awards for Best Singer / Songwriter and nominated as one of the ‘Judges Highly Commended Artists’ for three tracks off her debut EP, So Alive, which has also been chosen as the featured soundtrack for several surf DVD’s and surf events including Quicksilver Pro France in 2009. 2010 has seen Kym supporting some of Australia’s biggest acts, including The Beautiful Girls and Ash Grunwald, as well as signing with an independent record label in Melbourne and securing a release deal in Japan for her new EP ‘Preview’. With numerous radio stations around Australia embracing her new EP and being voted one of the top 30 New Artists To Radio, songstress Kym Campbell, has built herself an impressive fan base.

Described as ‘spirited’ and ‘touching music, Campbell’s natural ability to connect with audiences sees her winning hearts all across the country. Set to release her new EP ‘Preview’ in March, recorded with world renowned producer Michael Stangel (Veronicas, Shannon Noll) at Medici Studios, followed by a national tour, this artist is one to follow in 2010!
