Camila Grey: Indie Electropop with Uh Huh Her

Sounds like: We get compared to the Cocteau Twins a lot.
Favorite hardware: My iMac, Digi 003 rack, and Korg M3.

Favorite software:
Pro Tools and Logic.
Influences: Mozart, Bjork, Radiohead, New Order, and David Bowie, to name a few.
Play by ear, sight read, or both: By ear! Suzuki Method worked for me!
Practice regimen: Touring is great practice. When I’m not on the road, I try to write something or play every day. At least that’s the goal.
Best gig experience: Playing Shepherds Bush Empire in London to a huge audience. That was wild!
Worst gig experience: Playing that same gig and wearing two different shoes by accident because I was so nervous. They thought it was a fashion statement. It wasn’t.
Top musical guilty pleasure: Justin Timberlake.
Most underrated keyboard player(s): All of us! I know so many session keyboardists who are tremendous. It’s an underappreciated craft.
Favorite keyboard songs/compositions: “Closer” by Nine Inch Nails, “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode, “Kiss Them for Me” by Siouxsie and the Banshees, “Moonlight Sonata” by Beethoven, and “Claire de Lune” by Debussey.
Words of wisdom: Do it yourself.
