MULTI-TALENTED MUSICAL GODDESS KARMEL JÄGER...<br />
“Music . . . can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable.”<br />
- Leonard Bernstein<br />
Sydney is brimming with female talent! From London to Sydney, Karmel<br />
Jäger continues to make huge waves in the music world.<br />
Mezzo-Soprano, DJ, and electronic producer, Karmel started her musical<br />
journey on the violin at the age of 5. After teaching herself piano and<br />
studying viola, she discovered classical singing at the age of 16. Initially<br />
honing her craft at the Sydney Conservatorium, she spent three years<br />
abroad in the UK from 2014 where she studied at the Guildhall School of<br />
Music and Drama, performed throughout Europe and recorded<br />
extensively as a session singer at AIR and Abbey Road Studios. She has<br />
appeared on soundtracks for films, TV and video games, lending her<br />
voice to the likes of BBC’s Sherlock, The Avengers, Star Wars and World<br />
of Warcraft.<br />
Her return to Sydney in 2017 has seen the artist land firmly on her feet,<br />
moving swiftly into the electronic music community and releasing her<br />
debut single ‘Back of You’, to critical acclaim from Triple J Unearthed and<br />
KISS FM. Charting at #2 on the Dance Charts and #7 on the Electronic<br />
Charts, this “knock out first track” and “classic-feeling anthem” is only<br />
just the start for this budding producer.<br />
Karmel released her second single, ‘Trafalgar Square’, in May 2019, along<br />
with her first music video and a synthpop remix by Fynn's Arcade. With a<br />
debut EP set for release later in the year, Karmel will also collaborate<br />
with international and local producers and develop her shows, both as a<br />
DJ and live performer, making for a jam-packed year ahead.<br />
As a DJ Karmel has been booked for club nights including Birdcage<br />
(Slyfox), Sunday Service (Sweethearts Rooftops), This is Living (Blue Fig<br />
Bar) and Gigs in the Garden (The Roundhouse) - DJing everything from<br />
RnB and 90s throw backs to Deep House and Techno.<br />
Karmel’s sonic journey into the electronic scene has seen her flourish<br />
into a versatile artist making her one to watch. As a producer she<br />
continues to explore her artistry across a wide variety of genres, likening<br />
her sound to Roisin Murphy mixed with Robyn.<br />
Karmel sports an impressive classical journey. Wow!<br />
