Camille

Born in Paris in 1978 as Camille Dalmais, Camille has built since the early 2000s a career that lies between French chanson, pop, folk and vocal experimentation. After starting out in Parisian jazz clubs and making her first film appearance in Les Morsures de l’aube in 2001, she released Le Sac des filles in 2002. In 2004 her involvement in the Nouvelle Vague project, which reinterpreted new wave classics in a bossa nova aesthetic, placed her in a collective context before she returned to the solo format with Le Fil in 2005 — an album marked by spare arrangements and an intensive focus on the voice. Camille broadened her palette on Music Hole in 2008, where anglophone pop, gospel, R&B and body percussion meet, and continued with Ilo Veyou (2011) and Ouï (2017), two records that extend her taste for acoustic forms, language play and rhythmic constructions. In parallel she composes and performs for film, notably Le Festin for Ratatouille (2007), several songs for Le Petit Prince (2015), and the music for Emilia Pérez, written with Clément Ducol and awarded the Oscar for Best Original Song in 2025.
