About Carlos Camilo

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I remember the first time I cried deeply over a song, and this track was Michael Jackson's Earth song. It spoke to my inner being in a way that I understood deeply even without speaking English yet or having any real knowledge of musical composition. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Alejandro Sanz, El alma al aire (Edicion 2006) Chris Botti, Chris Botti In Boston (Live) Francisco Céspedes, Vida Loca The sound quality and song selection in these albums are exquisite. They evoke a deep passion and longing in my heart, which I use in turn as inspiration for musical composition. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Sweet Nina” This song I hold near my heart because it was written for my only daughter Camila. It musically describes her untiring spirit and loving soul, a truly remarkable child that has blessed me with her presence. What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Being nominated for the 66th American Grammys for my work as a multi-instrumentalist and Producer for Master pianist Bob James' album "Jazz Hands". The experience of meeting Bob and sharing studio space with him is truly unforgettable. Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? I live life as it comes, and don't really like to expect anything. If I deserve good things, those things will manifest in their own due time. I believe in hard work and evolution as a human specimen, the rest is secondary and consequential.
