The Ultimate Guide to Camila Cabello’s Style
Speaking in an interview about her mother and the immigration process, Camila said,
“She learned fast because she literally had to in order to survive. Immigrants have one thing in common: Hunger. I don’t mean it literally, although that’s true too, but metaphorically. The hunger to do the impossible because you have no choice, because you came too damn far, because you’ve known what struggling is, and you’re not going to take an opportunity for granted. The hunger and ability to win above people with better circumstances than you simply because you want it badly enough.”

Camila had always loved to sing, and at the age of 15 she convinced her parents to let her audition on the singing competition TV series The X-Factor. The rest you may know: Her gamble proved successful and Camila was introduced and added to the girl band Fifth Harmony, who finished third on the show. Equipped with a record deal and mentors such as Simon Cowell, the band flourished on the charts. However, despite a few successful years, the tension between the four girls and Camila soon became evident.
Complications with the Band
After several attempts to keep the band together, united, and working as a team for not only the fans but the business itself, Camila still decided in late 2016 to leave the group and begin her career as a solo artist. According to a Billboard interview with Ron Fair, a producer who has worked with singers such as Christina Aguilera and the Pussycat Dolls, this scenario is typical of girl groups:
“Being in a girl group is not for the faint of heart. The business is so hard and unforgiving that only a rarefied few make it to hits and awards shows and fulfillment of their dreams.” Fair stresses that the ambitions of girl group members are often rooted in early childhood and through the years become “like a belief system.” Once the group dynamic comes into play, however, “and as there is more and more success, it turns into, ‘What about me?’ We’ve seen it fictionalized in Dreamgirls and in the real-life story of The Supremes. Very few girl groups have been able to stay together for a protracted period of time.”
