Kamila Thompson

*****LOOK OUT FOR THE BAD MARRIAGE EP, OUT IN JUNE!!!!!!!!!!*****



Kami is a singer and writer of songs based in London/New York. You may have seen her touring with Bonny Prince Billy, Teddy Thompson, Sean Lennon and others, or perhaps have caught one of her very well received headline shows around Manhattan or London town.



***************************************************************************



London native Kami Thompson popped out in the early eighties, the third and youngest child of folk duo Richard and Linda Thompson. Although she made occasional appearances with her family over the years, Kami remained galvanized against the draw of the music business until, in early 2006, Will Oldham (Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy) invited her on tour. She had never heard of him, but she loved the records he posted to her, so she gave in to her deepest, darkest urges, quit her job and accepted the gig. It turned out to be a good decision. There followed by tours opening for brother Teddy Thompson, Hal Wilner's 'Came so Far for Beauty' tribute to Leonard Cohen, alongside Beth Orton and Nick Cave, a US tour with Sean Lennon and guest appearances at the Wainwrights' Carnegie Hall Christmas Concert alongside friends Martha and Rufus Wainwright, which earned her a glowing mention in the New York Times…she also notched up the regulation eight-hundred sparsely attended dive-bar gigs everywhere from Back to Beyond.

In between outings, Kami wrote and recorded the songs for her first record, ‘LOVE LIES’. The album was recorded in Brooklyn and Manhattan with producers Brad Albetta and Ed Haber. Guest artists include Richard and Teddy Thompson, Martha Wainwright and Sean Lennon as well as a host of other acclaimed musicians from both sides of The Pond.



Kami has been working with Andy strange and Alexis Smith since 2009 on a new collection of work, a sample of which will appear as the Bad Marriage EP, out in June.
