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 seven years ago, it wasn't until she moved to Australia, that Campbell produced her acclaimed, debut EP So Alive, and thankfully, there was no going back.
Often described as an infusion of roots, folk, reggae and island music with an understated, organic sound, Campbell's style draws comparisons to artists such as Jack Johnson, 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.
2009 has also seen Kym being chosen to record her new single Preview with world renowned producer Michael Stangel (Veronicas, Shannon Noll) at Medici Studios, as well as recently signing with an independent record label. With numerous community radio stations around Australia embracing her independent EP and new single and voted top 30 New Artists To Radio, as well as consistently staying in the Top 10 Australian Myspace artists for the genres of both roots and surf, songstress Kym Campbell, has built herself an impressive fan base.
