Born in Córdoba, Argentina, Camilo developed an early interest in music and began playing guitar at the age of eight or nine. During his teenage years, he took up the electric bass and became involved in the local underground rock scene.
He began his formal music studies at La Colmena Music School in Córdoba, where he took regular electric bass lessons, while also studying classical composition at the National University of Córdoba. Although deeply engaged in the alternative rock scene at the time, he consistently collaborated with artists from a wide range of musical backgrounds.

In 2000, Camilo moved abroad. After a brief period studying double bass at the Bologna Conservatory in Italy, he was admitted to the Jazz Department of the Amsterdam Conservatory, where he completed a full-time degree program. There, he studied electric bass with David de Marez Oyens and Theo de Jong, double bass with Arnold Dooyeweerd and Charlie Hadenois, and attended masterclasses and workshops with renowned musicians such as Scott Colley, Avishai Cohen, Steve Bailey, Richard Bona, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Michel Hatzigeorgiou, and Ari Hoenig, among others. Following his graduation, he moved to Vienna, Austria, where he pursued a master’s degree at Bruckner University, studying double bass with Adelhard Roidinger and Peter Herbert.
Since 2009, Camilo has been based in Barcelona, where he has been actively collaborating with many local musicians. He is currently involved in the local free improvisation scene as well as some avant-garde-rock projects.
