2) Jamil Azzaoui A Moroccan born Quebec folk singer who sings funny songs in French.
1) (Kingston) Jamil suddenly found that his band-mates had moved on from university while he had not! Without his music-making amigos, Jamil picked up his acoustic guitar and began to dabble in singing and songwriting. This quickly became his focus and passion.
In the years that followed, right up until the present, Jamil has undertaken his own artist development by writing continuously, taking online courses through Berklee College of Music, and by performing in his hometown of Toronto. You'll often find him playing solo at The Cameron House, Free Times Cafe, NOW Lounge or The Rivoli.
Jamil's songwriting has been recognized repeatedly. He was a finalist in the 2005 International Songwriting Competition for his song "Ocean Tide" (co-written with Ron Lopata), and "My Way Home" (also co-written with Ron) received an honourable mention in the 2005 Billboard Song Contest. Recently, American Songwriter Magazine published his lyrics for "The Sun Will Rise"... and the list goes on.
With influences such as Paul Simon, James Taylor, Coldplay, David Gray and Ray LaMontagne, Jamil's Singer/Songwriter/Rock songs are described by Chris Iorfida (contributor to Chart Magazine and Eye Magazine) as "passionately sung with well crafted lyrics."
The aspiring singer/songwriter has just finished his first full-length album, "ALWAYS ON A TIGHTROPE," with producer Ron Lopata (Tomi Swick, Simon Wilcox) which is available at iTunes and CD Baby.
2) Jamil Azzaoui ran several famous bars in Montreal as well as being a talent agent for some of Quebec's famous stars including Richard Desjardins, Dan Bigras, Luce Dufault, Garou, Anne-Marie Gélinas, Lara Fabian et Isabelle Boulay. In 2009 Jamil suffered a double heart attack. It took him 9 years to be able to play the guitar again.
His albums include:
Pépé Inc. Greatest Hits (1996)

Pitié pour les bums ! (2005)
Je dure... Très, très dur... (2008)

Jamil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter what they say
And you wish one thing
Would go your way
You came here with a suitcase of
Dreams but now
Everyday its the same old thing
Now ya learned first hand
Feeling hollow it's a struggle
But I think your still
So beautiful
大切な時ほど
言葉は出て来てくれない
伝わってるのかな?
キミはうつむいたまま
それでも ボクの歌で
そっと励ましたいんだ
上手く言えないけど 届いてくれ
Keep on どんな未来が来ても 希望
Just so you know
I'll never let you go
今信じてみよう
先のみえないことを
怖いって思うより
楽しめるようになったんだ
人と向きあわなければ
自分は傷つかないから
嫌われたくないから
遠くの空見てたんだ
それでも ありのままで
本当はいたいよね?
僕と この音楽で支えたい
Keep on どんな未来がきても
Keep on
Just so you know
I'll never let you go
今信じてみよう
先はみえないけれど
君と一緒だから
楽しみでたまらない
Keep on どんな未来がきても
Keep on
Just so you know
I'll never let you go
今信じてみよう
先はみえないけれど
君と一緒だから
楽しみでたまらない
I'll always be by your side
The lyrics to Jamil's song "Keep On" convey a message of perseverance and support in the face of adversity. The song speaks to someone who may be feeling down and out, who has been carrying a suitcase filled with dreams but is faced with the same old struggles every day. Despite the sorrow and hollowness they may feel, the singer acknowledges their beauty and wants to gently encourage and uplift them with their music.
The lyrics also touch upon the fear of the unknown and the difficulty in expressing oneself during crucial moments. The singer recognizes that even though it may be challenging to find the right words, they hope their message can reach the person and provide hope for the future. The song emphasizes the importance of believing and enjoying life, suggesting that it is better to face people and potential hurt rather than avoiding vulnerability to protect oneself from being disliked.
In the end, the singer reassures the person that they will never let go and will always be by their side. The song serves as a reminder to keep going, no matter what the future brings, and to find joy and anticipation in the journey alongside the person they care for.

Well you feel down and out
You are feeling low and defeated
No matter what they say
Regardless of what others say
And you wish one thing
You desire for something
Would go your way
To happen as you want it to

You arrived with hopes and aspirations, but at present
Everyday its the same old thing
Every day feels monotonous and repetitive
Now ya learned first hand
