Kamal Siegel

Kamal Siegel is a singer/songwriter born in Chile and currently residing in the USA. Born in Punta Arenas, one of the southernmost cities in the world, Kamal grew up in various parts of the country. Although his world centered on drawing and painting for many years, his artistic interests began to expand at the age of 15 when he picked up his father's guitar. Filling his life afresh with music he discovered that through writing music, art could have a meaningful message. He began to teach himself how to play classical style guitar by learning musical pieces by ear. Unaware that the instrumental works he studied had multiple guitar tracks, he managed to learn and play them on one guitar by experimenting with alternate tuning.

By exploring these subtleties of classical guitar, his music writing began expanding on themes that go beyond today's trends, such as spiritual tension, racial unity, true happiness, oppression, inner conflicts and various other issues unaddressed in today's music industry. His music, though at times heavy, also finds expression in light, fun and joyful themes of rebirth and spiritual glee.

His debut album, titled First Steps, features eight songs in English and Spanish and six instrumental pieces, with styles ranging from classical guitar to new age, jazz, flamenco, folk and rock. The album was recorded in Chile by Faro Producciones, a local production company and record label that specializes in inspirational music.
Kamal currently resides in Seattle where he works as a graphic artist.
