Camila Cabello, the 24-year-old Havana native singer and actress rose to prominence as a member of the disbanded girl group Fifth Harmony. While in the group, Cabello began to taste the sweet flavors of being a solo artist after releasing hit songs such as “I Know What You Did Last Summer” with boyfriend Shawn Mendes and “Bad Things” with Machine Gun Kelly.

In late 2016, Cabello decided that it was time to continue working as a soloist and exit the group. In 2018 she released her debut studio album, Camila, and peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 chart. Her lead single “Havana” topped the charts in the United States and the UK. The following year, her duet song with Mendes, “Señorita,” became her second single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Success after success, Cabello received the opportunity to make her acting debut in the 2021 musical Cinderella. The best-selling star also recorded the songs of the soundtrack.
