Cam started out as a songwriter, writing for artists such as Miley Cyrus and Sam Smith. Around 2013 she moved to Nashville and turned down a publishing deal, to prove she could make it on her own, and she did. Before her rise to fame, Cam released a "pop folk" album in 2010 titled Heartforward. Three years later she released single, "Down This Road." A local radio director discovered Cam's music on Instagram and played the song on air. Cam says this helped her sign with record label Arista Nashville. Fast forward to 2015, which became the year of Cam. After releasing a couple of singles, she appeared on The Bobby Bones Show where she performed her amazing song "Burning House." After that performance, she blew up the iTunes chart. "Burning House" quickly became the fastest rising county single on the streaming service that week. It also became a top-five song on Billboard’s county songs and county airplay charts. "Burning House" was the highest-selling female county song of 2015 and recieved a Grammy nomination. Cam released her second album, Untamed, in December of 2015, where all 11 songs were co-written by her. The album debuted at number two on the Top Country Albums chart. It was also the highest-selling debut county album that year. In 2017 Cam released another single, “Diane,” which stayed at the number one spot on the iTunes charts for five weeks. In 2018 she released “Road to Happiness” and currently has a groovy, poised song out titled “Till There’s Nothing Left.” Cam's voice and songwriting caught my attention in 2015 with "Burning House." The poetry of the song hits you like a ton of bricks, her runs with the music are just so good, and the blend of piano and violin are wonderful. Her voice radiates through "Till There's Nothing Left" which has a more modern vibe to it compared to "Burning House." TTNL is about two lovers being together forever or maybe in just that moment, but either way it's them versus the world and they are going to make the most of it. Information from here.
