Camile Velasco A.K.A. Eli-Mac is a proud Filipino musician from the island of Maui. She is a singer-songwriter who launched her career at the age of 18 when she landed a spot on American Idol as a top 10 finalist on season 3. From there she went on to record a version of Bob Marley’s Guava Jelly produced by his son Stephen Marley, at Tuff Gong studios in Jamaica. The track earned her the Hawai'i music awards single of the year.
