KAMILIA

THE STORY

Kamilia Fortas is an underground artist who genuinely loves music.

"Write your pain down Make it sound like poetry"

she always wrote music but never got the courage to actually publish it because she was scared people won’t listen to it nor enjoy it, maybe that fear came from comparing herself too much to what’s already out there, or maybe just the fear of being vulnerable because music says everything you can’t always say out loud.

then in 2022 she wrote her first track “ dangerous game” and posted it on youtube though her music was poorly recorded but she didn’t give up and made songs one after one even though her songs never really blew up but she continued doing it, just because she genuinely loves music.

CREATIVE PROCESS

STEP IT UP

This one came from a place of both frustration and clarity.

I was in this phase where I was tired of mixed signals, like either show up or step out.

So the title Step It Up hit me first. It sounded like a challenge but also a warning.

The chorus is really the heart of the whole thing:

"Step it up or I’m stepping away
Can’t keep me guessing boy you know that I don’t play..”

I remember writing that part late at night and it just flowed.
I wasn’t overthinking it. It felt like something you’d say to someone when you finally hit your limit. It’s not about being angry, it’s about knowing your worth, and I think there’s a little sass in there too in a good way.

Musically, it is a very soft song but I tried to keep some energy in the Post Chorus but not too loud either.

This song is really for anyone who’s done playing guessing games.

Sure Thing

This song is probably one of my favorites I’ve ever written. Sure Thing is about that kind of love that you don’t hesitate for, the kind you’d bet on even if it scares you.

What makes me proud of this one is that... it doesn’t have a chorus. Just a flow of new lyrics that keep shifting like the emotions behind them. I wanted it to feel like a train of thought, like I’m speaking straight from the heart without stopping to polish anything.

The beat I used had so much soul. If I could describe it, I would say it’s like soft bravery.

My favorite lines were:

"Call it reckless, call it blind
But I don't love you halfway, never tried
You are not a maybe, you are my sure thing
And if you’re a mistake, I’ma choose you all over."

If you've ever felt that kind of love, the kind that feels like jumping off a cliff but worth it, this one's for you.

Prima Donna

Prima Donna was the first time I really let it all out, It’s technically a “diss” song, but it’s more about me than them, It’s the track that I feel represents who I am as an artist, confident, and kind
and done being underestimated.

This song came from a real place. There was someone who clearly didn’t like me, not because I did anything wrong, but because I was good. Better, even. And they couldn’t handle it. So instead of shrinking, I wrote this. Not to explain myself, but to rage them more with jealousy.

"Is that your heart? ’Cause I wanna break it
If you want it, then I’ma take it"

It might sound mean, and honestly, it is a little mean but that’s the point.

It’s not about being nice. It’s about claiming space. I wanted it to be dramatic and bold at the same time. Every line is designed to make you feel something.

The whole track is like pouring gasoline on their ego and lighting a match. And I loved every second of it.

This is always the one I show people first when I say "I'm a singer." Because it’s not just a song, It’s me, prima donna.

Poems I Can’t Burn

You ever have someone leave your life, but somehow they’re still everywhere?
Like they sneak into your thoughts when you least expect it
They become part of how you think, how you feel like a line in a poem you didn’t even mean to write

I kept coming back to this idea that
some things no matter how much you want to let them go just stick.

That’s how Poems I Can’t Burn came to life.
At first, it was about a feeling, but it turned into something bigger.
It became this strange metaphor I couldn’t even explain.

“You’re another page that I cannot turn
You’re another poem that I cannot burn.”

This song’s for anyone who’s ever tried to move on but kept rereading the same chapter.
