Camille Anjali releases new single “Rise Up”

Despite being just twelve years old, Camille Anjali is already building a musical world that most musicians spend decades chasing. A Swiss singer with a global upbringing, born in Mumbai, raised across four continents and now based in Sydney, she channels a truly unique blend of cultural fluency and artistic maturity. Her music, an expressive fusion of pop, soul, R&B, reggae and cinematic storytelling, feels at once timeless and thoroughly new, offering an emotional scope far beyond her years.

Camille’s creative journey began not in a recording studio, but under stage lights and her first performances came in musical theatre, where she played Young Tina and Young Aline in Tina: The Tina Turner Musical and later appeared as Duffy in Annie The Musical in April 2025. These early roles shaped her as both a performer and storyteller, developing her vocal control, presence and emotional awareness.

Now, as she continues to shines as a recording artist, those same qualities ripple throughout her sound, resulting in heartfelt, confident and engaging music. Last year, she recorded her debut album at Zurich’s legendary Powerplay Studios, a space whose walls have echoed with the music of Prince, Lady Gaga and Lenny Kravitz. From that historic setting emerged a collection of songs that blend meaningful storytelling with sonic impact, a reflection of her wide-ranging influences and of the collaborative effort between Camille and her father, who wrote the album’s tracks specifically for her voice and spirit.

Her debut single, “Last Friend On Earth,” arrived last September as a bright, tender celebration of friendship, that simple, relatable force that unites and uplifts. The song quickly introduced Camille’s warm tone and emotional openness, establishing her as a young artist capable of transforming everyday feelings into something resonant and cinematic. Now, Camille follows that entrance with her powerful new single titled “Rise Up” this time embracing perseverance. The track serves as an anthem for determination and courage, offering a song for anyone who’s ever been knocked down and found the strength to stand again.

Inspired by a true story of an athlete who fell during a race, broke ten ribs and a clavicle and returned the following year to complete an Ironman, “Rise Up” transforms a personal act of endurance into something highly stirring. Carried by the steady punch of marching drums and stacked with colourful instrumentation, Camille’s alluring voice floats above to craft an instantly catchy slice of delightful pop music.

“Rise Up” is the second single from Camille’s forthcoming debut album, a project that explores themes of courage, community, identity, and joy, all stitched together by a sense of optimism that feels entirely her own. Alongside her studio work, Camille is currently performing at the Sydney Opera House during the Turandot Season 2026, adding to her growing reputation as both a singer and performer on the rise.
