Camila Meza Band

Equally prized as a vocalist, guitarist and composer, Meza has uplifted audiences worldwide with her assured and beautiful singing, highly advanced guitar (both self-accompaniment and blistering solo work), and vivid, melodic songwriting that reveals complex layers with every listen.

Shes been hailed by The New York Times for her appealing combination of lightness and depth singing in a bright, clear voice against the agile stir of a first-rate band.

Her improvising, on electric or acoustic guitar, is serious business.

In 2019 she released her fifth album, Ambar, on Sony Music Masterworks, producing it herself and proudly unveiling the Nectar Orchestra, a collaboration with bassist and arranger Noam Wiesenberg.

Meza moved from Chile to New York at 23, graduating in 2013 from The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music, where she studied with Peter Bernstein, Vic Juris, Sam Yahel, Steve Cardenas and Gil Goldstein, among others.

Bringing a sound full of warmth and clarity to the New York jazz scene ever since, she has distinguished herself as a member of Ryan Keberles Catharsis and Fabian Almazans Rhizome, and has also worked with Paquito DRivera, Aaron Goldberg, Sachal Vasandani and many more.

She has appeared at festivals worldwide as well as NPRs Tiny Desk Concert series and WBGOs The Checkout, garnering praise from The Village Voice, The Wall St.

Journal and many other outlets.

In 2018, Pat Metheny enlisted her to perform and act as musical director for his NEA Jazz Masters induction ceremony at The Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. In 2022 she was named #1 Rising Star Female Vocalist by Downbeat Magazine.
