Kamilah grew up in Orange County,CA listening to every genre music had to offer. Joni Mitchell, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Jerry Reed, Dixie Chicks and Phobe Snow. "On Saturday mornings mom blasted Aretha Franklin and Stevie Wonder and my dad schooled us on jazz greats like Miles Davis , John Coltraine and Herbie Hanncock." she says of her growing up years. "Somewhere along the way I picked up Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and a HUGE love for country music." As proud of her collaborators as she is her music Milah has penned songs with vocalists Shayna Steele and Shoshana Bean, guitarist Mick Taras, jazz pianist and producer Jamieson Trotter and Manhattan Transfer guitarist Wayne Johnson. Kamilah is sure to captivate and take you to the deepest part of her heart. Inimitable, illuminating and intense, Marshall's voice can transport you to a Saturday Night fish fry or a Sunday morning perfect peace. Her music is heartbending, her spirit is a light in the dark, as she sings about her life and yours.
