Early Life and Dance Career
Camren Bicondova was born in San Diego, California. She has shared that her family has Spanish roots, going back three generations in America. Camren started dancing when she was six years old. Her family later moved to Hawaii. There, she learned different dance styles like jazz-funk and hip hop at a local studio.
By the time she was 11, Camren became an "Elite protégé" for a dance event called The PULSE on Tour. This meant she traveled across the country. She helped some of the best dance teachers and choreographers in the nation.
Rise to Fame
Camren Bicondova first gained a lot of attention in 2012. This was for her role in the dance-drama movie Battlefield America. In the same year, her all-girl dance group, 8 Flavahz, did very well. They were the runner-up in the seventh season of America's Best Dance Crew, a popular TV show.
Starring in Gotham
In 2014, Camren was chosen for a big role. She played the young Selina Kyle in the Fox TV series Gotham. She played this character for all five seasons of the show. The series ended in 2019.

Also in 2014, she appeared in the "Enjoy the Ride" music video by the group Krewella. In September 2015, Variety magazine included her in their annual Youth Impact Report. This report highlights young artists who are seen as the next big talents in Hollywood. Later that year, she was also in a Canadian slasher film called Girl House.
In April 2019, Camren Bicondova made a decision about the Gotham series finale. She chose not to appear in the final episode, "The Beginning...". Another actress, Lili Simmons, played her character in the scenes that showed the future, ten years later. Camren explained on Twitter that she did not feel comfortable playing an older version of her character. So, she let another actress take on that part.
