MEAWW: Well, you have already established such a strong image. How did you go about preparing for an album till you are satisfied it is authentically ‘CAMO’?
CAMO: I haven’t got this question before. I love it lol. All my songs have been about love and life so they’re all 100% me. I’ve never put too much thought into my music because it came naturally to me. The next mixtape I’m working on is a bit different though! Definitely had to “work” more to find my sound and experiment with different beats and genres. Shoutout to my A&R Torsten. He’s 'sensei'.

MEAWW: You have so many cool tattoos. Do you have a favorite?
CAMO: I don’t have a favorite one haha!
MEAWW: If you were not an artist, what would you like to do?
