About Me


"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."--Hunter S. Thompson
I love to live and I live to love. Pouring my passion in my music, through poetry and spoken word in a smooth and sensual fashion. Igniting flames of fire in others.
A mostly vegetarian lifestyle.....mostly organic raw foods allows free flowing channels of thought and receptivity - uncluttered with toxins. My life is simple - uncluttered, yet full in richness of substance.
As a medical healer, I heal through my practice of medicine which I do in the physical realm when I treat my patients. I am an alumnus of Spelman College, where I received my Bachelor of Science degree, and an alumnus of Howard University where I received my Doctorate of Dental Surgery. Yes, I'm also a dentist. I am a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority.
As a soul healer, I perform healing in the metaphysical realm through sound and music. I'm a very sensitive and spiritual soul so in touching another individuals life in some profound and inspirational way, I feel I am fulfilling my life's mission.
I am the original spoken word Queen, having been signed to Polydor, London in 1991 for my spoken word house track "Deep in Thought." The Enchanted Album is my indie debut. Out of seeds pain and joy, this album came to fruition. In the process my soul evolved yet even further.
I like to take my audience through the various journeys of my life experience. I feel I have accomplished that in this magical endeavor. As I grow spiritually my music also evolves. At present, I continue to perform through various progressive venues. I look forward to spreading the love and message of my music to the hearts and minds of every person I can enchantingly touch........keeping it soft.....sensuous.....and - yes - sweet.

The Enchanted CD project is the first CD released from Ichinen Records and is my debut album. This record features world class recordings that blend sensual passionate vocals with conscious raising lyrics. This is an eclectic album which features the enticing hit "Enchanted" -an alluring latin flavoured track. This CD is an exciting mix of both Spoken Word and Song that defy categorization. Featured are guest artists Venus Reid, Raquel Caldwell . Also featured is the special dedication song, "Freedom," featuring my father, the late Honorable Judge Vernell E. Fuller, who made it all possible with his legacy and influence.
There was both tragedy and joy involved in seeing this album to fruition. One of the saddest moments was the loss of my father only weeks after he recorded the song freedom. I had been undergoing healing when the following year I lost my Aunt Caroline who'd supported me throughout my life and especially my journey to become a dentist. I was very stressed and burned out from my day-job as a dentist yet determined to keep going until I got a break as an artist which is my true passion.
Presently, my focus is on my mission as a healer through my art, writing and medicine. There is no separation between these worlds. In ancient Kemetic society, Art and Medicine were interwoven in teaching and implementation. In our Western society they are dissociated and we have seen the degeneration of both disciplines in great magnitude.
My chosen path on this spiritual journey of life is Buddhism. Like my mentor, Tina Turner, who overcame abuse and suffering before me, (who is also a fellow Sagittarian and got her career start in St. Louis), I chant "Nam-myoho-renge-kyo" (devotion to the mystic law of cause and effect) for personal happiness as well as world peace. Ultimately, I know in each struggle there is a lesson to further us on this journey of life. I have the "ichinen" to persevere no matter what others think or say about me and what obstacles come my way. This determination is the crux and meaning of my record label, "Ichinen Records."
As I state in my father's song "Freedom" if you don't know your name you'll answer to any old name. Truth has no need to be achieved or proven because it is already as it is. And so I bring forth - with humility, poise and grace - the essence of Camille.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/22/2006
Band Website: cdbaby.com
Band Members: Al Caldwell performs vocals on "Goddess of Light," the duet with me "What I've Found in You," and "Over the Water."Venus Reid performs vocals on "Enchanted" radio mix, "What I've Found in You", "Over the Water" and "It's My Soul," "Defiance" and "Freedom."Raquel Caldwell makes her recording debut on "Enchanted" performing vocals on "Over the Water" and "Defiance."All lyrics were written by myself, except on the song "Freedom." All music on the "Enchanted" album was written by Alsamad Caldwell. This was the most SPIRITUAL, MENTAL and EMOTIONAL collaboration I've ever had with anyone to translate and transform my life into music. There also lies a story. Dark clouds in the aftermath have brought much pain and many tears. Yet what I've come to understand in my journey as an Artist and in my human revolution is that music is a FORCE. Thus the power of music rooted in the spirit PREVAILS - and the negative will NEVER TRANSCEND the GOOD. He gave me his best.
