Singing and acting was always an important part of Cameal’s life, and according to her “Serves as a way to balance and focus” the rest of her life.

In recognition of her superior stage presence, Cameal was affectionately dubbed “The Diva” by the judges. During this time, Cameal was also a member of Father Ho-Long and friends and was a part of the epic Musical “Moses”.
With her continued growth in talent and charisma, Cameal’s star continued to shine.

Cameal Davis made history and became the first female to win the competition.

Her video “Believe” has been widely recognized for the artistic representation, performance and positive message. After eight years, the video still receives a significant number of views.

Cameal carefully considered her projects following Rising Star and leveraged the opportunity to spread a positive message.
Her Rising Star success also led to the lead role of “Effie” in the 2009 musical theatre production of “Dreamgirls” Cameals unique ability to capture her audience was quite evident in her performance as she received standing ovations nightly and received the “Best New Cast Member”, “Best Female Lead Role” and “Cast member of the Year” awards.

She became a member of the UWI Pop Society and Drama Club as this enabled her to balance her passion for the arts while continuing to focus on academics.

She proudly received the honor to represent Jamaica as part of the Jamaica 50 celebration in the U.K. with the prestigious group of talented actors, singers and dancers from the University of the West Indies.
