A best-selling Colombian singer and songwriter, Camilo is recognized for his breezy tenor vocals and infectious blend of reggaeton and Latin pop. He initially grabbed the public's attention in 2007 when he won The XS Factor in Colombia. His success paved the way for his 2008 debut, Regálame Tu Corazón, and its 2010 follow-up, Tráfico de Sentimientos, the latter of which marked his first chart appearance inside the Colombian and Peruvian Top 40. Following his time hosting a children's television program, Camilo returned to music, writing songs for Bomba Estereo, Mau y Ricky, Juanes, and others. In 2020, he garnered widespread acclaim with his album Por Primera Vez. Buoyed by the platinum-certified hit "Tutu" with Pedro Capo, the record topped the Billboard Latin chart and took home a Latin Grammy Award. 2021's Mis Manos and 2022's De Adentro Pa Afuera were similarly successful.

Born Camilo Echeverry Correa in Medellín in 1994, Camilo and his sister, Manuela Echeverry, formed a musical team as teenagers; they tried out for The XS Factor, but failed to reach the end of the competition. He returned the following year as a solo artist and won, setting in motion his debut album, Regálame Tu Corazón. Released under the name Camilo Echeverry, the album garnered some radio and video attention, but did not chart. In 2008, he made further TV appearances on the RCN Channel's Super Pá and in the telenovela En Los Tacones de Eva. Also in 2008, he began making regular appearances on the children's television program Bichos, where he remained until 2009 when he went on tour in Colombia and the United States. In 2010, he released his Sony follow-up, Tráfico de Sentimientos, which hit inside the Top Ten in Colombia; it also charted in Peru as well as other South American countries. Camilo returned to Bichos (by then renamed Tu Planeta Bichos), and was selected as a presenter on the 2011 XS Factor. In 2013, he cut the non-charting single "Déjame Quererte Hoy," and the following year he retired from Tu Planeta Bichos.

By 2018, Camilo had dropped the use of his last name and returned to his music career, penning hits for Bomba Estereo and Mau y Ricky. He also wrote "Paleta de Ha-Ash" and "Cuidao" for Yandel and Natti Natasha. In addition, he collaborated with Mau y Ricky and Manuel Turizo on the hit "Desconocidos," and wrote "Pa Dentro" for Juanes. He also launched his own single, "Japonesa." Over the next year, Camilo picked up more songwriting work, penning and singing on Sebastián Yatra's "En Guerra." He also released his own platinum-certified single, "N Te Vayas." After writing and recording the triple-platinum single "Me Boca" as a featured guest of Mau y Ricky, he enlisted Pedro Capo to work with him on the single "Tutu." It topped the chart in Mexico and peaked at number two on the U.S. Latin Pop Songs in the U.S.; it was also certified platinum. A remix of the track with Shakira also charted and was followed by the collaborative single "Boomshakalaka" with Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, Afro Bros, Sebastián Yatra, and Emilia. At year's end, Camilo had released two more charting singles with "Primer Avión" (featuring Matisse) and "La Difícil." Both songs were included on his third full-length album and the first released under the name Camilo, Por Primera Vez. Arriving in April 2020, the set hit number one on Billboard's Latin Pop Albums chart and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Latin Pop or Urban Album. Camilo also won the Latin Grammy Award for Best Pop Song for the track "Tutu." Released the following year, his next album, the Grammy-nominated Mis Manos, made the Top Five on the U.S. Latin chart and even cracked the Billboard 200. "Índigo," a duet with Evaluna Montaner, appeared later that year. 2022 saw the release of De Adentro Pa Afuera, which included the hit single of the same name. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
