German-American Soprano Jamila Drecker-Waxman has distinguished herself for her rich tone and vibrant performances in operatic, concert, and recital settings. In 2025, Jamila joined Sarasota Opera, Central City Opera, and Florentine Opera in their respective young artist programs performing the roles of Zerlina, Shepherd Boy, Soprano 2 (The Knock), and covering the roles of La Contessa, Donna Anna, Antonia, Stella, Giulietta, Berta,  and Jo Jenner (The Knock), 

During the 2023-2024 season, Jamila was named the Boston District Winner at the Metropolitan Opera Laffont Competition, performed scenes from La bohème, La rondine, Lady in the Dark, and A Gentlemen's Guide to Love and Murder, and covered roles in The Pirates of Penzance and Street Scene as a studio artist with Central City Opera. She also returned to Opera Maine, where she was a studio artist in 2023, to perform in the Opera Maine Gala.

While pursuing a Master of Music from the Boston Conservatory at Berklee, Jamila performed the roles of Susannah, Vitellia , and Governess, and was awarded a grant to produce and star in a film of La voix humaine, a role she reprised at the Alliance Française shortly thereafter. Her other recent engagements include the role of Mimì at the Bay View Music Festival, as well as the roles of Pamina and Noémie at Opera in the Ozarks.
