Camilla Sims (she/they)
Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, and based in New York City, 26-year-old Camilla Sims embodies the characteristics of the fish that inspired her artist alias, Convict Julie, named after the African freshwater cichlid. Sims is a self-taught composer, multi-instrumentalist, and performing artist. Pairing her original music with original film productions, her vision manifests as visual albums, taking a multi-disciplinary approach to artistic expression and ethnomusicological research. Transitioning professionally into classical music composition with no formal music education background, Sims is carving an unconventional path bringing the modern global Afrocentric perspective to classical music with the intent of deconstructing Eurocentrism from Classical music and uncovering ethnically Black & Afrocentric-identifying intersectional classical music perspectives.
