STYRIAN OF THE DAY

Eva Campbell-Haidl has written the title track for a new film.

The film is called “One Love”- named after the famous song title by Bob Marley. “One by One” is the title track of the film and it has been written by Eva Campbell, born in Bruck/Mur. Bob Marley¹s son, Ky-Mani Marley plays the lead role. “One by One” has brought the 28 year old to the film premiere in Cannes. “One love” is set in Jamaica, where two societies: Christians and Rasta people, clash. “If everybody contributes a little bit, we can all live together”, is Campbell¹s addition to the philosophy of the film, which is identical to the message of her music.

Un-influenced

The musical path was not genetically pre-arranged for her. “I¹m the only one in the family who chose music as a career.” Her parents and sister Carmen live in Bruck, her father is the chairman of a building construction company, her mother a psychotherapist. Her brother Hannes studies law in Graz. For Campbell, Cannes was the first step into the film music world. “Once you¹re in, you can make a difference and get your message heard by a much bigger audience.”

Roots

Eva Campbell writes songs, which are based on the musical outskirts of pop. She first studied Jazz at the university for performing arts in Graz and later on went to London to complete a postgraduate course in jazz and studio music at the Guildhall School for Music and Drama.

This is where she lives today with her Canadian husband Colin.
In September, the singer, lyricist, composer and pianist will release a CD and in November she will give a concert in Bruck.
