Jazz with Camille Bertault
Camille Bertault is one of modern jazz's most compelling emerging voices whose artistry is “bigger than the buzz,” says Vogue. With an incredible voice that skillfully replicates the wide range of scales of musical instruments, Camille takes scat singing to a whole new level.
After failing her final exam at the Paris Conservatory of Music, Camille posted a video of herself on Facebook singing John Coltrane's "Giant Steps" in scat. The video went viral and in 2016, Camille released her first album. Her second album Pas de géant released in 2018 pays tribute to her quick rise to fame.
