Born on a Canadian military base in Germany but raised amidst the rugged beauty of Vancouver Island, and various locations around the world, Camille Miller is a singer-songwriter whose music draws from a lifetime of diverse experiences and eclectic influences. Now based in Lisbon, Portugal, Camille Miller’s journey into music began early, surrounded by her mother’s extensive soul and ‘70s pop record collection. Childhood afternoons were spent gazing at Carole King’s Tapestry album cover while absorbing the sounds of Aretha Franklin, Jackson 5, and Nina Simone, setting the stage for her lifelong love affair with music.
From the moment she learned to sing Bay City Rollers’ Saturday Night and devoured the Fame soundtrack as a kid, Camille Miller knew she was destined for the stage. Clarinet lessons and a stint in the Canadian Military Marching Band saw her hone her craft further, but it wasn’t until picking up the guitar and discovering the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and Queen that she began to carve out her own path as a songwriter.
Camille Miller spent ten years fronting a full-time cover band (1998–2008), which allowed her to explore a range of styles, sharpen their skills, and fund her own original recordings. This deep knowledge of music, garnered from years of performing other artists’ songs, has enriched her own unique sound, enabling her to transcend genres and speak to listeners across generations and borders. She has worked with the likes of Nicholas Haggar, with whom she wrote and recorded her first three albums, Doug Elliot (Odds), Pat Steward (Bryan Adams), and has contributed as a writer and vocalist to a host of major label albums in both North America and Europe.
