Camille Gainer a native New Yorker, has established herself with a rich career poised with artistic ability and versatility. She began playing drums and other instruments such as guitar, violin and piano at the age of 11.
She then went on to study with master drummer Michael Carvin. She credits Michael with opening her up to all styles of playing and most notably being aware of the feeling and language of different styles and her sight-reading prowess.

Feet in the Mudto me means being true to ones own self despite your race, age, gender, size etcetera, Jones says. Its about finding true joy within yourself, having an open mind and spirit and a connection to the earth.
