Camilla Wickman (they/them) is a singer, storyteller, and plant lover with a Gemini stellium. They received their B.A. in Music Composition with a minor in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity from Stanford University in June 2023.

Their influences include explosive femme musicians like Tori Amos, Mitski, and Minnie Riperton. Camilla braids poetry into lush vocal textures with the rhythmic gait of piano rock, creating what one listener had called “operatic folk,” a label they will claim until it no longer fits.

Inspired by the Norse cosmological idea of Öorlog (or ancestral debt), their music acknowledges that the personal is always political, and they hope it will encourage European-descended listeners to consider their place in the evolving myth-reality of the colonial imagination.
