Camilla (born Camilla Marie Beeput on 9 September 1983) is an English singer and actress who briefly worked with Dipset to try to launch a music career. Born in Westminster and raised in Brent, both in North London, Camilla became known for participating in the first season of the BBC reality television series Fame Academy in 2002, in which she had a brief romantic liaison with fellow contestant Lemar before ultimately being eliminated. At the time Lemar had a girlfriend. After Fame Academy, she went on to star as Maria in a production of the musical West Side Story at Leicester Haymarket Theatre, Money to Burn at London's The Venue, before working with Dipset, who then started work on her debut solo album Rise of the Phoenix. "Don't Hold Back", which features rapper Erick Sermon of the group EPMD, was released as the album's first single on 28 August 2006. Camilla then landed the role of Rose in the London West End production of Daddy Cool, a musical based on the music of Boney M., at the Shaftesbury Theatre. Following Daddy Cool, Camilla appeared as Crystal Gordon in Bad Girls: The Musical from previews in August 2007 to the show's closure in November 2007.
