Etta Cameron


Etta Cameron was a Bahamian–Danish singer. She especially sang jazz and gospel, and left her mark in the Danish music culture through her entire career from her arrival in Denmark in the 1970s. She was made a Knight of Dannebrog in 1997.
Cameron was also well known as one of the judges in the first two seasons of Scenen er din, the Danish version of the American TV show Star Search.
Cameron was born in Nassau, Bahamas. She came to Denmark from the DDR, but found herself unable to leave East Berlin for five years, after a performance commitment during which time she had lost her passport.
Her daughter Debbie Cameron, born in Miami, Florida, in 1958, moved also to Denmark in 1978, where she, too, established a musical career, not least representing Denmark twice in the Eurovision Song Contest, in 1979 and 1981 along with Tommy Seebach.
Cameron died on March 4, 2010, in Aarhus, Denmark, after a long illness.
