[edit] Biography
Camille Davila is an international song-writer/multi-instrumentalist and cult celebrity who is most often referred to as the "enigmatic pop-glam princess". Born in Los Angeles, California, she spent most of her life ping ponging the west coast and the last 6-7 years relocated in Europe, primarily Liverpool England. In 2000 she worked with Luc Leduc of Below Records to release her debut album Not for the Disco shortly before moving to Liverpool to study sound technology and continue her relationship with Below Records which re-located to Berlin, Germany. Two European tours followed with bands of Below Record’s fame (200T and the Bad Cassettes), along with gobs of scattered European gigs and a second album "World of Gliding Monsters", produced in the UK, Bergen Norway and Germany. Mostly produced by Camille herself, she still insists on owing thanks to Jeron Gundersen of Dibidim who largely collaborated on the album. Playing amongst some of Europe's finest musicians (including Stein Urheim of Steady Steele, Marius Simonsen of Pop Levi and Super Numeri and Pop Levi himself) Camille continued to play through a residency at Ladytron's newly opened club "Korova" while popping up for "special appearance" gigs globally. Camille's surrounding company has always been of interest to die-hard fans, from playing with ex-Jeff Buckley drummer Eric Eidel, to working for an organization run by Stewart Brand, Brian Eno and others at The Long Now Foundation, to debuting her residency with her opening players the Zutons! We even find a link to artist Snap Ant who she shared a flat with in Liverpool. Camille currently resides in Leucadia, CA with English comedy-writer and music video producer Neil Mclean of Goodtimes Moving Images Ltd, while working on a third album and continuing to perform live. A US tour is pending for spring 2007 along with a new web-site launch and music video directed by film artist Jackie Passmore.
