Biography

Cabello was born in Cojimar, Cuba, to Sinuhe Cabello, who is of Cuban descent, and Alejandro Cabello, who is of Mexican descent. She lived there until she was five years old and moved to Mexico for a short period. She and her mother then moved to Miami to settle where Cabello, who spoke only Spanish, learned English on her own. She attended Miami Palmetto High School though she withdrew in the middle of her 2012-2013 year of school.

Her mother recalls that instead of a traditional quinceanera party, Cabello wanted to audition for the X-Factor. She auditioned for The X-Factor in 2012, as a solo act in Greensboro, North Carolina Cabello made it as far as the judges' homes rounds. Simon Cowell decided to use Cabello and other young women who were cut in these rounds to create all-female pop groups. Cabello's audition and bootcamp performances for X Factor were not shown on the show due to copyright issues. The group that Camila was placed into named themselves Fifth Harmony.

Cabello has repeatedly cited Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato as sources of inspiration. She's also stated Alejandro Sanz, Luis Miguel and David Bisbal as some of her Latin musical influences.
