About Me


NEWS
NINI IN JAPANESE? At least I think it is! "Stay Together" (written and performed by Nini for Pokemon's 10th anniv CD) has been covered - karaoke style - they took my voice out, sang to the track, made a video and put it up on the ol youtube. Hard not to love it.

NEWS
*SNOCAP ON MYSPACE* WHAT???* CRAZY!*
New unreleased songs have been building up over here so i decided to just let loose and make them all available to you! It feels like waiting for a full length CD is becoming a thing of the past so have a listen and a download! also, all previous releases can be found here and at the itunes store.
*THE SEVENTEENS*
Did you hear STAY AWHILE? its in the player up there and ive got to say im really excited about this project. one of my all time favorite guys - MCGOWAN SOUTHWORTH - and i have started a project called The Seventeens. Basically, we have known each other for ages - from beating around the music block here in nyc - it can take its toll and when you meet good people you tend to hang on. well, mcgowan is one of those special people. anyway, we have been writing together for awhile now and decided it was something we wanted to explore. so keep an eye out!
*THE HAMILTONS*
Some of you know my all girl band - THE HAMILTONS - (featuring AK Healey, Trina Hamlin and Marilyn D'Amato) have been tooling around for some time. Well, we are pleased to announce that another Hamiltons tour is in the works for June. From Philly to the midwest and possibly a little taste of Texas! We may have some room for house concerts so if you are needing a little summer pick me up and want us to come play for you and your pals, email [email protected].
ON THE WRITING FRONT
*CW TV - Life is Wild*
My song Beautiful Life (written by Nini and Gary Philips - in the player up there too) was featured during the season finale of Life Is Wild and we LOVED IT.
*CANE*
"Slide" and All American Love Song (a new song written by Nini and Gary Philips) were featured on CANE!
*SYDNEY WHITE*
Beautiful Surprise, a new song written by Nini and Gary Philips, is featured in Sydney White. The song showcases Kyle Paas (who we love!).
*AS THE WORLD TURNS*
As the World Turns? Yes, indeed. They went indie! 7 songs were used! Slide and I Saw Love, as performed by Gwen/Jennifer Landon, are available for download on itunes. Behind the scenes footage of Jennifer Landon recording the song, clips from the show and more at CBS.COM/Daytime or on youtube.com

ONE OF THE FEW DONT MISS SOLO ACTS TO COME THROUGH TOWN THIS YEAR -Creative Loafing
Its not everyday that a first generation Cuban American, finesses a glass slide along the strings of her acoustic guitar with her foot stomping in time to the swampiest groove this side of the Mississippi Delta, but that is exactly how Nini Camps takes the stage to play SLIDE, the lead off track from her sophomore release, SO LONG. Dont be mislead however, into thinking that bluesy slide work is the only thing this New York City based, independent, singer, songwriter, guitarist has to offer. Musically, she goes beyond the conventions of todays popular music fearlessly blurring the lines of pop, country, folk and rock to create a sound that is as diverse as it is powerful. While influenced by such powerful writers as Lucinda Williams, Bruce Springsteen and Patty Griffin, it is Ninis ability to effortlessly tap into her Cuban heritage and the likes of the late Celia Cruz, that her unique combination of old and new, Cuban and American is borne.
Currently writing for Cherry Lane Music Publishing, Nini has toured all over the US, London Canada and Germany (as the US representative for the World Cup Music Festival).
