CAMILLE TRUST, SINGER/SONGWRITER
In late September, Tampa native and celebrated singer-songwriter Camille Trust released her debut full-length album, “ NY to FL,” and performed Sept. 24 at Floridian Social Club. The album is available on all streaming platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. During the pandemic, Camille lived at home with her family, pivoting to find new ways to create her music. The songs on this album were written and produced over Zoom with her NYC producers. While home in Florida, she assembled a large local creative team – including director, photographer, wardrobe designer, hair & makeup artists – to produce music videos for this project. Her music video “Florida” features the lush landscapes of Odessa, St. Petersburg and Lutz, where she grew up.
Trust says that this album is “a narrative of the times leaving a city I loved to move back home to a place I left many years ago. I am excited to share my story of transition, love and acceptance when the world was turned upside down.” To know Camille is to love her soul-baring, unapologetic music. The NYC-based singer/songwriter released her debut EP “No Other Way” in May 2018 and has quickly established herself as a strong female force in the music scene, garnering praise from the likes of Billboard, Nylon, DuJour, Popdust. Camille is also a proud member of the Resistance Revival Chorus, performing and recording alongside Jim James, Kesha, Carly Simon, Phillip Glass, Ani Difranco, and receiving recognition from eminent artists like Shawn Mendes. As of recently, she has done backup vocals for Mendes and Nathaniel Rateliff on Saturday Night Live as well as the MTV Video Music Awards. With an intoxicating blend of 60’s Soul, 70’s fun, and contemporary Pop, Camille has a sound that is both nostalgic and avant-garde.
