Camila Cabello was born in Havana, Cuba, and raised between Havana and Mexico City before her family relocated to Miami, Florida, when she was six years old. Her career began to take shape in 2012 when she auditioned as a solo contestant on the second season of The X Factor USA. Although she was eliminated during the boot camp stage, she was brought back to form the girl group Fifth Harmony alongside four other contestants. The group quickly rose to prominence, eventually becoming one of the best-selling girl groups of the 2010s with hits like “Worth It” and “Work from Home.” During her time with Fifth Harmony, Cabello began to explore solo projects, laying the foundation for her eventual breakout.
In December 2016, Cabello officially left Fifth Harmony to pursue a solo career. She released her debut solo single, “Crying in the Club,” in 2017, but it was “Havana,” featuring Young Thug, that became her true breakthrough. Released later that year, the single topped the Billboard Hot 100 and went on to become one of the most streamed songs of all time by a female artist. Her debut studio album Camila was released in January 2018 and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. It received critical acclaim and commercial success, featuring not only “Havana” but also “Never Be the Same,” which reached the top 10 in several countries.
Cabello followed up her debut with her second studio album, Romance, released in December 2019. The album included the hit single “Señorita,” her duet with Shawn Mendes, which became her second number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned her several awards and nominations. Other standout tracks from Romance include “Liar,” “Shameless,” and “My Oh My.” While the album showcased a more mature and personal lyrical direction, it also reaffirmed her ability to craft catchy pop melodies infused with Latin and R&B influences. Her artistic growth and vocal range were noted by critics, and her collaborations helped her expand her global reach.
In April 2022, Cabello released her third studio album, Familia, which highlighted her Latin heritage and included collaborations with artists such as Ed Sheeran and WILLOW. The album produced the singles “Don’t Go Yet” and “Bam Bam,” the latter reuniting her with Ed Sheeran and earning significant international airplay. Familia received favorable reviews and reinforced her reputation for weaving personal storytelling into upbeat, genre-crossing pop tracks. With each album, she has increasingly embraced her cultural roots, reflecting her commitment to authenticity in both sound and subject matter.
Throughout her solo career, Cabello has received a number of prestigious accolades, including two Latin Grammy Awards, five American Music Awards, a Billboard Music Award, and multiple MTV Video Music Awards. She has also been recognized by Time magazine, which included her in its 2018 list of the 100 most influential people in the world. In addition to her musical success, she has made strides in acting, starring in the title role of Amazon’s Cinderella in 2021, marking her feature film debut. The performance introduced her to a new audience and expanded her presence in the entertainment industry.
Cabello has also been active in philanthropy and activism. She has partnered with Save the Children, advocating for equal education opportunities for girls around the world. During the COVID-19 pandemic, she supported frontline healthcare workers and took part in global relief efforts. She has consistently used her platform to speak out on issues such as immigration, mental health, and diversity in media. Her willingness to engage in social causes has added a meaningful layer to her public image, distinguishing her as not just an entertainer, but a voice for change.
Her musical journey is marked by continuous evolution—transitioning from a successful group member to a chart-topping solo artist with an increasingly global outlook. Each chapter of her career has shown a deliberate effort to expand her artistry while staying true to her roots. With multiple platinum-certified singles, number-one albums, and a growing list of artistic ventures outside of music, Cabello has proven herself to be a dynamic and enduring force in contemporary pop music.
