Interview with the Local Artist - Kameil -

Some things in life just go great together like a piano and keys, a dj and turntables, or Kameil Madison and music. From day one Kameil has always been around music. With her grandmother being a blues singer and her mother being a huge fan of R&B, Kameil had no choice but to fall in love with music.

This Michigan native grew up listening to artists such as Stephanie Mills, Keith Sweat, Anita Baker, Gladys Knight, and many other incredible artists. As a child she fell in love with the music of Janet Jackson, Brandy, Xscape, Aaliyah, and many others. Her family definitely knew that this young child was destined for a career in the music industry.

At the age of 14, she went to a nearby recording studio (House Of Treez), where she met longtime producer and friend, DX The Flex. Although she started out singing she felt that she was finally on the right track. She then took a little time off and began listening to more rap than she usually did. She started listening to artists such as Lil' Kim, Notorious B.I.G., Missy Elliott, and Foxy Brown.

Kameil then started mixing rap into her R&B songs until one day it was more rap and a lot less R&B. She was in love. Rapping was a genre that fit her perfectly. She has the look, the attitude, and definitely the skills.

Kameil has accomplished a lot at the age of 21. With music that has been featured on Lifetime network's original movie "Sex and a Single Mom", FX network's "The Shield", and The Wayans Brother's film "Whitechicks", Kameil is definitely taking the music industry by storm! Look out for Kameil's debut album "Unlady-Like" in stores and online!!
