Interview: Talking with the Talented Grammy-Nominated Country Artist, Cam

“Untamed” was released in 2015 and and you just released “Diane” the lead single off your sophomore album. What has changed in your life between then and now.. Is there a big difference in writing.

I got married, so on the album you will hear sweet, newly-wed, romantic songs. But it's not the whole album, because then you have songs like “Diane.” But I will say what has really changed is that I have grown and gotten better. My writing and my voice have both gotten stronger and better. Now we are at a level that the budget is better, the co-writers are better and I have gotten a little bit more into the scene. It is so much more evolved, makes me really proud of it.


My first concert was a Beach Boys concert being from California. The first concert that I chose to attend was probably the Backstreet Boys.

You are also quite the songwriter, what do you do for inspiration when you sit down to write a song and it seems that nothing is coming to you?

This is something that we talk about a lot with my fellow songwriters and creators. Sometimes you will sit down to work and inspiration doesn't show up, and you still need to follow through and finish and be good at the motions that makes a song come out. Then when the inspiration does come, you will be better at the muscles of it.

You are such an inspiration and role model to all girls of all ages. How does that feel and do you have any advice that you were maybe given that you would like to pass on?

It feel surreal. Even when you are at a point where you can say things like “I was nominated for a Grammy” or “my single went platinum” you still doubt yourself and have moments when you look in the mirror and think I hate myself, I hate my body. Everyone does that, especially women. So the thing that I would just love to say to girls is you don't have to say you'll be happy when or you will be happy if, those are all things that are not solved with success, money, fame. And not to be a downer, you will have a great time when you get there, work hard, but your satisfaction and happiness with yourself is there now.

Name three things you are thankful for this year.

I am thankful for my husband, my puppies, and that I get to do this job. It's pretty amazing!

What is one Thanksgiving tradition you have?

We do the sweet potato pie with marshmallow on top. I do not know who invented that, but thank you.

What is your favorite Thanksgiving dessert?

I like crunchy things, so I would probably say pecan pie.

How soon is too soon to start decorating for Christmas?

I think just so you avoid the overlap, you can't before Halloween. Then I think you are in the clear.

Do you have a favorite Christmas treat?

I like ginger a lot, so ginger cookies or ginger snaps.

Favorite Christmas album?

This is tough because I love Christmas albums. Once I figured out how to work the cd player I was all about that. I am really into the Bing Crosby Christmas album with the orchestra and also the Frank Sinatra one. My sister and I would pretend to tap dance to it every Christmas.

Favorite movie for the holiday season?

“Love Actually”

What's been your favorite album/song of 2017?

This is tough, but I am going to self-promote. The Sam Smith album just came out and I have a song on it with him. He really is good.
