Camille O'Sullivan

Film & Music Arena

Thursday 16th July, 2009

Singer, actress, award-winning architect, painter, TV panellist... Camille O'Sullivan's CV could convince anyone that they should spend their time a little more productively. 

Born in London to a French mother and Irish father, O'Sullivan grew up in Cork surrounded by the music of the French torch singers - a soundtrack which was her inspiration to become one of Ireland's most unique artists. In fact, one of the major factors in Camille’s international success has been her audiences’ total inability to pigeonhole her distinctive performances in any way. Making her one of the world’s most accessible and yet enigmatic performers.

As much storyteller as singer, Camille has made songs by Jacques Brel, Nick Cave and Tom Waits her own, and shows an inspirational fearlessness in her work. She has appeared in the films Over the Edge, November Afternoon and the Oscar-nominated Mrs Henderson Presents and has appeared in theatrical productions of One Night Stand, Tonight Lola Blau and Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd. She has also exhibited at the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin and has been a special guest on John Kelly’s arts programme The View (RTÉ One). More recently Camille was invited to perform on the BBC’s seminal music programme, Later With Jools and was a guest star for a season in the legendary, La Clique, in London’s West End.
