Between 2021 and 2023, he ran a residency at MusicBox Lisbon focused on connecting the Italian and Portuguese scenes. Besides his regular shows in Lisbon and Milan, throughout the years he has had the chance to bring his sound around Europe and Asia, playing in places like Bangkok, Seoul, Tokyo, Osaka, London, and Sofia, among others—sharing the line-up with artists like Emmanuelle, Kamma & Masalo, Hunee, Don Carlos, Satoshi Tomiie, and the living legend Nicky Siano.

the whole biography
An Italian born cosmopolitan, Camilla has roamed the globe for over six years, fueled by her father’s legacy in Italy’s progressive rock scene. From Cuneo, her hometown, to Brooklyn,where she now resides, her DJ journey has embraced diverse communities, including the vibrant scenes of Turin, Lisbon, Boston, and particularly New York and Brooklyn. Camilla has performed in various clubs and parties in New York and worldwide, including the likes of Resolute, Public Records, Elsewhere, Sunday Sessions LA and Harbour in Lisbon. Oscillating between classic old-school records and cutting edge sounds, her sets (mostly on vinyl) encompass diverse styles of electronic music including house, techno, electro and breaks. Overall, her journeys tend to be spacey and acid-heavy, leaning into bass-driven, uplifting beats when the time is right. In 2021, Camilla launched Encrypted, a celebrated event series in New York. Encrypted parties cherish intimate locations and a welcoming atmosphere, long DJ sets and international bookings paired with local talent. Artists booked include Giammarco Orsini, Anderson, Cristian Sarde, Unai Trotti and Matthias. This project is pawing the way for an upcoming record label, coming in the near future. Thanks to the unwavering dedication to her craft, Camilla hopes to continue to inspire music enthusiasts worldwide by challenging her ever-evolving creativity, unique energy, and cosmopolitan spirit.Recently at Green Room, Mansions, MAD Radio NYC · often with Joiah, Armii1n, Shvili, none of them here that night
