Roya Camille is a Northern Canadian singer/songwriter from Yellowknife, now based in Edmonton. She merges jazz, folk, and Middle Eastern influences into a warm, soulful sound, drawing comparisons to Norah Jones, Emily King, and Lianne La Havas. With a voice both sweet and sultry, she invites listeners on a journey under the midnight sun — from the Arctic aurora to prairie skies.

In October 2025, Roya released her debut single No More War, an anthemic call for peace in a turbulent world. No More War has received CBC Radio One play, and won Best Music Video at the Toronto Women Film Festival, introducing Roya as a compelling, genre-bending new voice. In 2026, she will release four singles leading into her debut album “Breath and Being”, produced by JUNOnominated Enoch Attey. The record is a collection of deeply personal songs tracing her journey into womanhood — from intimate love songs to funk- and soul-driven grooves. Blending acoustic guitars, folk rhythms, and jazz-infused melodies, her work is poetic, grounded, and emotionally resonant.

Roya has performed at notable venues and festivals across Alberta including the Calgary Folk Club, Yardbird Suite, the King Eddy, SkirtsAfire Festival, Kaleido Festival, Flying Canoe Volant, Found Festival, and Silver Skate Festival. She is a recipient of the MusiCounts Fred Sherratt Award for 1Outstanding Achievement in Music and Recording Arts and Sciences.
