Meet SheROCKS 2026 Artist: Camille Fleur
Camille’s music doesn’t rush, it lingers. She opens up about the personal reinvention behind her upcoming project Liminal, the courage it took to step outside industry expectations, and what it means to build a creative world that feels true to her.
Q: Your music lives in that space between the intimate and the expansive. What draws you to the idea of liminality, and how does it shape the world you create sonically?
Camille: I’m drawn to the moments where life feels in-between, when you’re not who you were, but not yet who you’re becoming. Musically, I love creating spaces that feel like you’re floating in that space: close, warm, but reaching toward something.
Q: As you work on your forthcoming project, “Liminal," what personal experiences or transitions are influencing this project the most?
Camille: “Liminal” comes from a period of reinvention, stepping away from industry expectations, leaving old versions of myself behind, and learning to trust my instincts as an artist.
Q: Your production style feels warm and dreamlike. What textures or sounds do you instinctively reach for when you’re building that atmosphere?
Camille: I gravitate toward soft synth pads, breathy vocals, and gentle strings. I like sounds that feel like they’re glowing, slightly blurry at the edges.
Q: There’s a cinematic quality to your aesthetic as an artist. If your new music were a film, what would the opening scene feel like?
Camille: A slow sunrise over an empty city street, quiet, gold, and full of possibility!
Q: Emotion and introspection are central to your writing. How do you balance vulnerability with artistry when sharing such internal moments?
Camille: My goal with my music is to share just enough to let someone see themselves in the song. The honesty is real, but I frame it in a way that leaves space for the listener to breathe.
Q: As a musician rooted in Los Angeles, how has the city — its pace, its beauty, its chaos — shaped the evolution of your sound?
Camille: LA is a city of contrast: softness inside noise, calm inside ambition. That tension really inspires my music, dreamy, but grounded.
Q: Your music often evokes a sense of becoming. What does transformation mean to you at this stage in your creative journey?
Camille: Transformation means choosing myself, not the safe version, but the true one. It’s trusting my ideas, even when they don’t fit anyone else’s template.
Q: Is this new project a transition into a fresh era for you? What have you discovered about yourself while making “Liminal”?
Camille: Yes, it’s my first era of creating music made entirely for me. I’ve discovered that my voice, both literally and artistically, is stronger when I stop trying to belong and instead create the world I want to live in.
9 Women Artists Changing the Game
USC’s Annenberg recent Inclusion Initiative report explored artists and creators of the top 800 songs on Billboards hot 100 charts spanning from 2012 to 2019. The study found that women made up only 27.1% of artists, 12.5% of songwriters, and an astounding 2.6% are producers. Our goal is to shed light on the many women who are immensely talented music producers, composers, audio engineers, artists, songwriters, and instrumentalists changing the way we experience music for now and the future.
Here is a wrap-up of a few women you should know about that are changing the game in the music industry and paving the way for a new generation of women in music.
Women Artists Take Forefront at Biennale Arte 2022
2005 became a groundbreaking year for the 51st edition of the Biennale when Maria de Corral and Rosa Martinez would become the first two women to curate the exhibition for the first time in its history.
This year, the exhibition, which features 213 artists, spotlights more than 180 women. Many of the featured artists are also indigenous, people of color, or non-binary artists. A choice which this year's curator Cecilia Alemani says is "a deliberate rethinking of man's centrality in the history of art and contemporary culture."
While women have been primary drivers in many facets of contemporary art culture, many of their stories have not been shared broadly by being given the space to exhibit at world-renown exhibitions like Biennale.
During a recent interview with ArtNews, Alemani said that she "made a point of focusing on women artists because [she] wanted to try to bring to the surface those stories that have been considered by many to be minor. Surrealism, Futurism, all those movements—they all had female artists."
In the exhibition opening to the public on April 23, there are heavy themes of surrealism and many new artists being featured alongside historic artists---quite different from the previous Biennale's. We can appreciate the space Alemani is also making for indigenous women in the arts.
"It is an important element of the show, not just because they are Indigenous, but because they bring to the forefront a different way of storytelling that is not the traditional one," she shared with Alex Greenberger for ArtNews.
The La Biennale di Venezia was set back a year due to the global pandemic, giving Alemani space and time to carefully curate this year's exhibition. In some ways, the pandemic and its impact on many of the participating artists truly influenced its direction.
The international exhibition "Milk of Dreams," titled after the book by Leonora Carrington (1917–2011), will take place in the Central Pavilion (Giardini) and in the Arsenale in Venice, Italy.
"The Milk of Dreams was conceived and organized in a period of enormous instability and uncertainty, since its development coincided with the outbreak and spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. La Biennale di Venezia was forced to postpone this edition by one year, an event that had only occurred during the two World Wars since 1895. So the very fact that this exhibition can open is somewhat extraordinary: its inauguration is not exactly the symbol of a return to normal life, but rather the outcome of a collective effort that seems almost miraculous," said Alemani.
The exhibit includes 213 artists from 58 countries; 180 of these are participating for the first time in the International Exhibition. There will be 1,433 works and objects on display, and 80 new projects were conceived specifically for the Biennale Arte. More importantly, let's celebrate the fact that women artists are shining bright, loudly, and boldly at this year's exhibition.
The #SOFemART Gallery, Podcast, and Intention
On March 27, 2021, Love Life Media revealed “The State of Fem Art” (SOFA) virtual art gallery and 360 experience designed by Fatimah “Sattom” Al Asad and curated by event founder Timea Gaines to recognize visual artists being spotlighted at this year’s SheROCKS event. The experience was crafted to commission, collaborate, and spotlight women artists and boldly declare our commitment to helping women artists and creatives be seen.
“We heard so many stories about women artists and entrepreneurs who had succeeded after attending SheROCKS event. We learned of the partnerships and relationships they established through the event. We also received numerous requests to do more. So we decided to create a space to continue the conversation, but more importantly to disrupt the industry in a way that levels the playing field for women in male-dominated industries,” said Timea Gaines CEO & Founder, Love Life Media.
With the SOFA announcement, you can expect media and entertainment, events, workshops, resources, tools, grants, collaborations, and a podcast set to feature women artists and creators.
Today is the first official public viewing of the SOFA art gallery and the podcast cover, which was created to highlight women artists who were disruptors in their own right.
On the podcast cover, you will see Frida Kahlo, Yayoi Kusama, Faith Ringold, Aretha Franklin, Audrey Hepburn, Norma Merrick Sklarek, Zaha Hadid, Rei Kawakubo, Madeline Anderson, and Debbie Allen. The first episode will provide a closer look at why each artist was chosen for the cover and their inspiring stories.
