Kim
Cameron
Lead Singer/Songwriter - Side FX
Side FX offers an
eclectic blend of pop, rock and jazz into a smooth, groovy listening
experience. Think Carly Simon with an attitude. The group launched their
first album, Contradictions
in September 2008. Combining a fresh, genre-shifting sound with inspired
and deeply personal lyrics, every song in the album is wrapped around a
personal experience of lead singer/songwriter, Kim Cameron. Gaining
popularity quickly throughout the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, MD
area, Side FX offers an alternative sound that is all their own.
Lead
singer Kim Cameron spent the last twenty years working her way up the
corporate ladder but there was always something missing in her life.
When her brother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer in 2007, she finally
had that extra motivation she needed to realize how much she would
regret not chasing her dreams. So Kim teamed up with a few Iranian
transplants and a D.C. native struggling to rise above a poverty
stricken neighborhood. And Side FX was born.
The band quickly began expanding their basement jamming sessions to
local restaurants, benefits and venues. For Kim, writing songs became a
positive outlet for expressing how much her brother-in-law had made an
impact on her life. “My goal with writing and singing is to help take
people away from a frustrating day or sad place and bring them back home
– and home is not a location, but rather a place that you can feel
grounded and safe,” says Kim.
The album
name Contradictions
carries hidden meanings. It represents the clash between the
upbeat sounds and the lyrical content and the album’s lack
of a fixed genre. For Kim, the true contradiction is: “What
you see is not always what you get. Inside all of us are
some hidden truths or talents that are often overlooked.”
A gift for storytelling makes
each song by Kim Cameron an unraveling tale that
effortlessly connects the listener with the music. Her
lyrics speak to life’s journey, exploring emotional
relationships and drawing strength from life experiences.
The songs reveal a surprising depth—from lyrics about
disillusioned troops (“My Hero”), to the temptations of a
budding romance (“Come a Little Closer”), to an intimate
portrait of a trapped woman who would “rather hide under
MySpace eyes” (“Her Escape”). Kim Cameron gives the album a
get-up-and- dance spirit with a seductive twist. Her sultry
alto notes blend seamlessly among the electric guitar riffs
and the saxophone solos.
