Camie

Toronto-based singer/songwriter and multi-award-winning storyteller Camie has long enchanted audiences with her soulful queer-feminist croonings, rich vocal tones, and lush poetic imagination. Combining traditional folk stylings with alternative pop-rock textures, Camie's original story-songs burst with flavour and feeling.

Camie erupted onto the Canadian Folk Music scene with the release of her 2021 alternative folk concept EP, troubadour, which was most recently nominated for the New/Emerging Artist award at the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards. Camie is also the recipient of the 2022 Colleen Peterson Songwriting Award, issued by Folk Music Ontario and the Ontario Arts Council, and a Hamilton Music Award.

Camie’s new album, entitled POEMS IN THE ASHES, will be released in March of 2024. This record combines the mythic, otherworldly, narrative-driven sensibilities of folk story-songs with the soul and sonic palette of alternative pop-rock dance music. Locating moments of transcendence in dark soundscapes of psycho-sexy horror, POEMS IN THE ASHES is a challenge to, and an extension of, Camie’s carefully curated award-winning sound. Camie is the alternative folk project of award-winning Tkaronto-based multidisciplinary performance artist, Camille Intson. Her writing, performance work, conceptual art, and music has received international attention and critical acclaim. She can be found everywhere online at @thecamiliad or camilleintson.com.
