Célia Kameni

While her deep, textured voice shines in jazz and has earned her recognition as one of today’s finest French singers (she won the 2025 Victoire du Jazz in the Vocal Artist category),
Célia Kameni had already demonstrated her ability to embrace a wide range of musical styles, infusing them with her own sensitivity. Her collaborations span from the symphonic orchestra Geneva Camerata to Franco-Israeli singer Yael Naim, as well as the Neapolitan duo Nu Genea, with whom she contributed to the global hit “Marechià,” which has amassed over 50 million streams.

Released in autumn 2025, her debut EP Meduse, at the crossroads of soul, folk, and pop, was widely acclaimed by the media. Exploring the human experience, Célia Kameni’s music invites listeners to immerse themselves in her intricate narratives, to feel the pulse of emotions woven into every note, and to witness the transformative power of shared artistic expression.

While echoes of Nina Simone, Björk, and Nick Drake resonate throughout her music, Célia Kameni also aligns herself with contemporary artists such as Moses Sumney, Shida Shahabi, and Arooj Aftab. Her vocal art is a true quest for visceral expression, her voice becoming a conduit for unspoken emotions. The result is a harmonious union of sound and feeling, where vulnerability and authenticity reign supreme.
