BEFORE (August 16): Friends of Camela Leierth-Segura are trying to promote the singer-songwriter and sometimes model, best known as the co-writer of Katy Perry’s “Walking On Air.” According to a missing persons report filed by California Attorney General Rob Bonita, the Swedish-born musician was last seen on June 29.
Friend Liz Montgomery posted the following appeal on Instagram: “We are desperately seeking information about the whereabouts of our dear friend and sister Camela Leierth, who may also use the name Camela Leierth Segura. Camela has been missing since June 29 and her last known contact was in Beverly Hills, California.”
Montgomery continues: “We are extremely concerned for her safety and despite our best efforts, local authorities have not been able to locate her.” The post asks that any information be sent to [email protected] “or to the police or a message to to send me”.
Montgomery told KABC that Leierth’s sister contacted her and asked if she had seen the singer. Montgomery then filed a missing person report with the Beverly Hills Police Department. Leierth’s landlord told the outlet that she had recently been evicted, and friends and neighbors said she was struggling to pay rent.
“Walking on Air” was co-written by Perry, Leierth, Klas Åhlund, Max Martin and Adam Baptisteand. The track was described as a deep house and disco song with 90s EuroVision vibes and was the second single from Perry’s fourth studio album Prisma. It peaked at number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number eight on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs in October 2013.
