Camilleri is also currently working on a Biblical album in Maltese, composing lyrics and melodies inspired by the Old Testament and New Testament. Two songs, already performed during concerts, include Min Jiġi Għandi and Igħdli Ħabib. .

He has featured on harmonica in Dominic Galea's jazz album Tribute, Andrew Cauchi's Bil-Qawwa ta' Mħabbtek and in both of Walter Micallef's album, M'Jien Xejn and Ħamsin.
