Here’s more about Kamila:
* She’s 17, a bilingual singer-songwriter, was a junior at Los Lunas High School near Albuquerque, New Mexico, when she submitted her Voice audition video eight months ago.
* Her interest in music comes naturally. Her mother is a dance instructor; her father Shawn is a singer known in the area as El Gringo. He’s also released music as Shawn Brooks.
* In fact, Kamila’s dad can pass on some tips about singing on a TV show. In 2005, he competed on Univision’s “El Gigante de Mañana” (Giant of Tomorrow) and placed second.
* “According to my parents, I haven’t stopped singing since I started talking,” Kamila says in that Voice audition video. “That is definitely my goal for the future. I never want to stop writing music; I never want to stop singing. That is my passion.”
* She sings snippets of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” and “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” in that audition video, which you can check out on her YouTube.
* Kamila plays guitar and piano and describes her music as “chill or emotional, moody music,” in an interview with the Valencia County News-Bulletin. “I like to put true emotion and feeling into my songs.”
* Kamila says her favorite thing to do is sing at Legacy Church in Albuquerque and credits those performances for helping her get comfortable performing in front of large crowds.
* The Legacy Worship YouTube channel backs that up. Several videos there feature Kamila. Check out her impressive vocal on “The Answer” below.
* In spite of her young age, Kamila has two songs on streaming sites — “Strangerz” and “Drug I Need,” both released in 2021.
* You can check out more current originals on her social media. She posted a snippet of a song called “Not Again” last week.
* She’s also performed the national anthem at a wide variety of events around her hometown, including a profession bull riding competition.
