Schmal
Guitarist, composer and songwriter
Wil Schmal is a guitarist, composer and songwriter. The light, relaxed 'jazzy' music with influences from country and blues of Wil Schmal, masks her sometimes dark and deep lyrics. Stories about tragic lives, about people who go through a lot and receive nothing 'gift'. She writes beautiful songs about love in all its facets. Like the song for her grandmother. “there is a place inside of me where I find understanding Tender eyes world wise they never stopped dreaming” Her high-quality professional guitar playing not only acts as an accompaniment, but adds, takes the lead, and improvises to the singing melody of her warm voice.
