Camille Newman

Artist Information

Biography

Stellar vocals, original sound, dynamic performer, writer, and actress, all define recording artist Camille Newman. Born and raised in Jamaica West Indies, Camille easily found her calling in music at an early age. She was first a violinist but then went on to pursue her gift in song. After entering and winning countless talent competitions, it was only a matter of time before she would turn her gift into her ministry. Camille migrated to the U.S. in 1992 and when she was just 15, quickly caught the attention of major record labels eager to invest in her talents. Despite disappointments and a few setbacks, Camille kept going. In 2006, Camille was casted for the lead role as Effie in the revival of the Broadway hit “Dreamgirls” directed by Tony Award winner Ben Harney. It was there that Camille confirmed her place in music and in life. Camille began working on her solo project right away, and in 2009 she released her first studio album “Unashamed.” The album was a collection of songs and letters to God pouring out her heart in every note, on every track. Her sophomore effort “A Place Called Heaven” is nothing short of the last, a must have for all. In her music Camille bares her soul leaving her all in the lyrics. Her message is one of deliverance, forgiveness, and complete freedom in Christ. Her new album, “A Place Called Heaven,” is a pop inspired collection of songs. She sings about her struggles with life as a Christian, yet, finding hope and freedom in God. Camille is vocally trained and sings on the Praise and Worship team at Christian Cultural Center in Brooklyn, where she is a member.

  When the emerging gospel artist began recording her debut album, Unashamed, she knew she wanted to create a unique sound that incorporated all of her musical influences from techno to reggae to classic R&B. “General praise and worship albums are great, but I wanted to create music that was going to speak to an audience that was saved, but still dealing with a lot of issues that young females face, such as broken relationships and trying to make your mark in the world. Trying to juggle those issues while being a saved, single female is very hard,” Camille says.
  
  The resulting Unashamed, is an album penned entirely by Camille Newman, that reflects upon how God pulled her out the many painful struggles she’d experienced in the way that only His word can.
  
  “I looked up to Mary J. Blige as a teenager, because she kept it real. So I wanted to keep that same realness, but infuse how God helped me through certain situations.”
  
  The melding of contemporary sounds with gospel lyrics is evident from the CD’S opener and first single “Life Back”, which would get the dance floor of any club or --church pew-- equally rocking. But Unashamed contains not only club banger style hits, but also classic ballads, such as “Love” and nods to Camille’s Jamaican heritage with the reggae infused “Give Him the Praise.”
  
  Already firmly established in the local New York City gospel scene, Camille recorded her CD as a way to spread her message of hope, love and resilience to more than just those who attend Christian churches on Sunday. Unashamed introduces the hottest undiscovered Christian artist to her inteded audience—Everyone.
