Camera Soul is a powerful jazz-funk ensemble, produced by Mr. Marco Rossi of Azzurra Music (Verona) and released and marketed in the Americas by Kathryn Ballard Shut of TIMKAT Entertainment (Denver, Colorado). Inspired by legendary horn line, soul, R&B, and jazz-fusion artists such as Earth, Wind and Fire, The Commodores, Tower of Power, and Stevie Wonder, as well as neo-soul grooves by Incognito, Erykah Badu, and Jamiroquai, the group is based out of southern Italy (Bari), and led by veteran composer-arranger brothers Piero and Pippo Lombardo. Camera Soul’s distinctive sound is further defined by the sweet and soulful voice of lead vocalist Maria Enrica Lotesoriere (Dress Code – 2015 and Connections – 2017) and formerly by Serena Brancale on the group’s first two albums (Words Don’t Speak – 2011 and Not For Ordinary People – 2013).
Camera Soul continues to thrill fans of jazz-funk and neo-soul with their third stellar studio album, 'Dress Code'! Maria Enrica Lotesoriere, lead vocalist and co-composer of Camera Soul: "To receive the call of the Lombardo Brothers with the request to become the new voice of Camera Soul was like touching the realization of a dream I had always; to make the music that I've always loved [and] to work with some of the best jazz-soul musicians on the Italian scene. It is from this life-long dream, shared with great artists, but especially great souls, that 'Dress Code' was born. We worked hard and long to put in this, our third album, every single part of us, our path, and our maturity. Because the songs are like clothes, tailored for those who compose, but also for the listener. These songs today are our best clothes, those we have chosen to wear. This is our way of dressing the soul of our listeners."

Existence is the fifth studio from Italian jazz-funk supergroup, CAMERA SOUL! Camera Soul is an original jazz / soul / funk project created by Lombardo Bros Productions. The band realized 5 albums that received an amazing international response. The last album “Existence” is an explosion of emotions and conquers again all the achievements of the previous albums but now the attention of the world on Camera Soul is definitive and the continuous requests for interviews prove it (the Tour of radio interviews recently of Maria Enrica in London), the continuous request for participation in concerts but above all the interest of international record companies and the appreciation and interest of the experts.
