About Camilo

Camilo Echeverry, known professionally as Camilo, is a Colombian singer, musician, and songwriter. He has been on the music scene since 2008 after winning the talent show Factor XS in 2007. His music is best characterized as latin pop, though it shows elements of urbano music. He often cites Uruguayan singer Jorge Drexler as one of his major influences. And he’s often known for his romantic lyrics and his rich soprano voice.

Early Career

When Camilo was a child, he did not have a radio in his family home. Instead, it had a collection of records from artists ranging from The Beatles to Shakira to Mercedes Sosa, and Pink Floyd to name a few. He recognized that upbringing as the first seed of his desire to get into music.

So he formed a musical duo with his sister, Manuela, and auditioned for XS Factor with her, but the pair did not reach the final round of the competition. He later won the show as a solo artist the following year and began his career shortly after with the release of his single, “Regálame Tu Corazón”.

Solo Artist Career

After some years working with and writing for other artists, Camilo set out to relaunch his career as a solo artist. He made changes to his image that included eschewing his former clean-cut style to go for a more bohemian look complete with a handlebar mustache.

He then released the song “Desconocidos” with Manuel Turizo and Mau & Ricky in 2018. This reggaeton song featured a ukulele and became a fast hit peaking at #23 on the Billboard Latin Pop Airplay chart. He followed this success by revealing that he had signed with Sony Music Latin in February of 2019.

Camilo then went on to perform at the Venezuela Live Aid concert in Cucuta, Columbia, a town on the border with Venezuela. He considered it a moving concert that wasn’t easy, but was necessary to provide aid to many people who were suffering. And he was happy to use the concert as a way to raise awareness of the injustice going on in Venezuela.

He has since gone on to receive 5 Latin Grammy Awards and 2 Grammy Award nominations.
