Mini bio
Before the stage.
Born in Cuba to a Cuban mother and Mexican father, Camila spent her early childhood between Cuba and Mexico before growing up in Miami. Singing was something she loved privately. Posting covers on YouTube, including Demi Lovato’s “Skyscraper,” helped her find the confidence to share her voice.
Finding her own songs.
In 2012, she auditioned for The X Factor and became part of Fifth Harmony. She left the group in late 2016 to pursue her own music. The next year brought “Havana,” featuring Young Thug, and her debut album Camila entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 in 2018.
Different sides of Camila.
Her solo catalogue includes Romance, Familia and C,XOXO, with collaborations ranging from Shawn Mendes on “Señorita” to Ed Sheeran on “Bam Bam.” C,XOXO draws on Miami and was created with El Guincho and Jasper Harris, with guests including Playboi Carti, Lil Nas X and Drake. She also played the title role in Cinderella in 2021.
