Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Camille Nelson is the youngest of 6 children. Both parents were formally trained in music, her father a violist and her mother a professional opera singer. This love of music was passed through her siblings and onto Camille. At age 6 Camille discovered the violin. At age 15 she received a guitar for her birthday and has been singing her songs ever since.

Camille documents her work on First Words, a collection of songs spanning the first 12 years of a lifelong journey inside the human spirit. Working with acclaimed Nashville producer Giles Reaves and steeped in her love of travel, the album has a broad world influence much in the same manner as Sting or U2. With First Words Camille Nelson lays the foundation for the listener to roam among the people and places that have had such an impact on her.

Besides music, Camille hosts a treasure of other activities including operating a marketing firm and working with several non-profit organizations. She holds a BA in Communications, an MPA and is currently teaching German at the local University. Also an accomplished athlete Camille has participated in several triathlons and marathons and has ran the Boston Marathon and the Great Wall Marathon respectively.

First Words is slated for release January 2009.
