Camela Widad Kraemer
So What’s the Story…
Camela Widad Kraemer’s music is folk, rock, rhythm, and a little mystic with a raspy voice. Her music has lyrics meant to express the beauty and struggle that people live, her nature is sweetness and the power in her voice is what consistently draws people's attention.
After so much passionate response to her singing, Widad began life as a songwriter and a gigging musician and it took off quickly. Starting with open mics in just about every city, Columbus, OH, Austin, TX, San Francisco, L.A., she would connect with the music community, share shows, share songs and grind out deeper songs and different arrangements. Then ended up with a regular Gig in Austin, TX, on the radio with live shows and an appearance on the Austin Music Network.
She has found that each city seems to have it's own "sound". To this day parts of each place color her songs with stories of city life, spiritual redemption, loss of love and love found. Widad's love for people, learning how they tick, what they think and why we do the crazy things we do colors her songwriting. Performances reflect a deep wisdom and understanding of the struggle of our experience.
Her voice is unforgettable and her instrumentation simple yet pulls on the strings of longing, bringing out the mystic side of her music. Sharp rhythms at times leave way to melancholy chords and occasional ballads of sweet summer love; “Crickets & Cars” © 1999 Camela Kraemer Eve, the struggle of the human soul to know love; “Beloved” © 2005 Camela Kraemer Food for the Traveler. and the celebration of simple things in; “Forever Comes After” © 2001 Camela Kraemer Call to the Soul.
A multi-instrumentalist and an entrepreneur, Widad has worked tenaciously in the music business right when it began to shift into a new and still evolving business model where all is possible and you’re on your own baby! Never one to shy away from hard work and persistence she tackles the job of being an “indie” musician allowing the pitfalls and joys of learning a job that is still changing.
Widad has been performing live and songwriting since 1999. She’s played in Austin, San Franscisco, L.A. the Midwest, Outdoor Festivals, Clubs, intimate house concerts, weddings, churches, funerals, and birthdays all along the way. Now, living on the East Coast, Widad is in pre-production for her 5th album. She is also the founder of the Unity Music Festival an annual music and arts festival bringing together music and art with deep roots of unity. http://www.TheUnityMusicFestival.com
