Born in Eket, Nigeria, Camilla has been interested in music from an early age and particularly in the fusion of African and Western music. She grew up listening to Fela alongside Jackie McLean and Charlie Parker. She began playing the saxophone when she was 11 years old when she won a music contest and as a result won saxophone lessons.

Camilla’s music is politically minded and heavily linked with African history and slavery in particular. Her latest album looks at tales that slaves passed onto their children through generations and, whilst full of sorrow, is essentially a story of hope for black people and mankind that we can one day live together in harmony.

In addition, Camilla has been nominated for an Urban Music Award for Best Jazz artist in 2017 and 2018. She is currently preparing to embark on a new project with China Moses and Theo Croker which will tour in 2020.
