Camille Baslé was introduced to traditional percussion at a very early age by Elsa Wolliaston, a pioneer of contemporary African dance, which developed in Europe in the 1970s.
At the age of 7, he entered the Rouen Conservatory, then continued his musical training at the Paris Regional Conservatory, where he joined Michel Cerutti's class in 1988, then that of Frédéric Macarez. He was awarded a First Prize in 1996, and a Prix de perfectionnement in 1998.
He is a founding member of Quartet Ku, a percussion quartet that won the Musiques d'ensembles competition in 1997. An eclectic musician, in parallel with his classical training, he plays percussion in the traditional Corsican music group Sarrochi and the French song group Karpatt. Very active in the field of historical interpretations, he became a member of the orchestra Les Siècles, directed by François-Xavier Roth, in 2006.
His performance of Béla Bartók's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion in 2011 with Martha Argerich, Nelson Goerner and Jean-Claude Gengembre is particularly noteworthy. Since then, he has taken part in chamber music festivals alongside renowned soloists such as Éric Le Sage, Frank Braley, Jean-François Heisser, Jean-Frédéric Neuburger, etc. (Sonates d'automne, Musique à l'Empéri, etc.). He also collaborates with the artistic project proposed by David Grimal and his ensemble "Les Dissonances". In 2013, he joined the Orchestre de Paris as principal timpanist.
