This week's video (or song since there isn't a music video) is Moments by Camilla Kerslake. She is a British/Kiwi classical crossover singer who was the first artist to be signed to Gary Barlow's Future Records.
Camilla took contemporary singing lessons since she couldn't afford classical but was later able to take classical as well. She recorded a demo CD which she repeatedly sent to Gary Barlow and he ended up singing her! In November 2009 she released her debut album Camnilla Kerslake. Since then she has released a second album called Moments, sung the National Anthem at a Wembley Stadium football match, performed for England Rugby Union matches and starred on stage in the West End in Les Miserables. She has also performed with Andrea Bocelli, Il Divo and Russell Watson.
In June 2013 Camilla took a break from her career after her mother became ill with breast cancer. Her mum recovered and Camilla went on to campaign for the Royal Marsden hospital and Breast Cancer Campaign who helped her mum get better. She also released a cover version of the song You Raise Me Up which featured classical group Blake and the Sing 2 Beat Breast Cancer Choir which she and her mother founded. Camilla's third album is scheduled for release this summer.
Moments is from the 2011 album of the same name. It's one of my favourite songs from the album. :)
