Camila Ortiz is a songwriter, performer, and sound designer based in Brooklyn. As Otracami, she leans into storytelling and atmosphere, crafting spiraling narratives that emerge from marshes, dim bedrooms, and nighttime drives. The project builds on her catalog of earlier solo releases as Camila Ortiz, including Fall Apart (2015) and Carrot Flowers (2017), and also draws on the influence of her ongoing avant-pop collaboration with singer/composer Claire Dickson as Myrtle. Their debut single, “Shifted,” was featured by NPR All Songs Considered. As a sound designer and composer, Ortiz has most recently contributed to scores for “EVERY VOICE” (2022) a virtual sound and sculpture exhibit for the LA Philharmonic, and Kaneza Schaal’s KLII (2023) for The Public Theater’s Under the Radar Festival.
