Want to meet your new favorite country singer? Cami Ross has been recording some new songs with us and we could not be more proud to introduce her to you today! She is playing at Puckett's Grocery and Restaurant on Sunday, April 12 at 7 PM. We're so excited to watch this country girl sing, and we thought you'd might want to meet her before you drive downtown to see her!
A native
of Tennessee, Cami Ross has been singing since she
was a little girl, and honed her skills in church and in singing contests
around the state. Following a detour to Texas to get her Music Marketing
degree from Baylor University, Cami returned to Nashville and made her living
singing at Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and other country music venues on
Broadway. She recently won the Nissan Talent Contest sponsored by NBC’s
The Voice, in which more than 10,000 people
voted. She continues to write and record her own songs and perform almost
weekly around hot spots in Nashville giving a
fresh interpretation to old and new favorites. Whether singing a Patsy Cline
classic, a contemporary hit or one of her own original songs, Cami’s strong,
pitch-perfect alto voice and her distinctive style epitomize the joy and pure
entertainment of the Nashville country-music experience.
"Clean" (Taylor Swift Cover)
· Where did you grow up? Signal Mountain, TN right outside of
Chattanooga – it’s a small precious town with one stoplight.
· What is your first musical memory? Oh wow…I’ve been singing since I could talk. My
parents tell this story about me singing the ABC’s at a restaurant in front of
everyone when I was 2 years old. So my passion for music has come naturally for
me pretty much since I was born.
· What was your first song about? My first song was called “Leave Some Boys for
the Rest of Us”. It was about my friend Sofi, who stole all the boys!!
· Where did you perform your first concert? I don’t exactly remember my very first
concert, but I can tell you that I used to play all around the greater
Chattanooga area, anywhere I could. One time I played in front of a WalMart to
an audience of 3, including my parents.
· What first inspired you to write music? I started writing music in middle school, to
let out my frustrations and insecurities.
· Does anyone else in your family play music? Did they inspire
you? I remember when I was young, my uncles played a
little guitar and sang just for fun when they were in college Other than that,
the whole family is pretty confused about where I got my singing abilities.
It’s random, but I’m super grateful for it!
· Who are some of your favorite performers? I like an array – Ed Sheeran is fabulous live.
The Punch Brothers are unstoppable. And if you remember Hanson, they’re still
one of my favorite bands.
· What is your musical background? I’ve been singing and writing songs since I
was about 13. I have been performing since I probably 10, if not earlier. I
participated in the musicals in high school, and performed a little bit in
college. However, after I graduated is when I really started to dive into my
music professionally. It’s been a whirlwind ever since (but a good one)!
· What themes do you find yourself writing about the most? Lost love and heartbreak seem to be recurring
themes in my songs, since that’s what I’m most familiar with. I really enjoy
doing fun ones too, where I can show a little attitude and release my inner
Miranda.
· Describe your writing process for me. It looks different for each co-write. A lot of
times I’ll come in and bounce ideas off of the other person, and we just pick
one and go with it. Sometimes we start from scratch too.
· Do you have a specific audience in mind when you write your music? I would ideally love for everybody to enjoy my
music!! I try to write songs that are very relatable, no matter who they are.
· How would you describe your live performance? I definitely get down onstage – my mom says
I’m a ham! I like to dance and just have fun!
· What emotions are you trying to make listeners feel when they
heard your music? I want my audience to feel what I’m feeling –
if it’s a fun song, I want them to be able to turn the music up and roll their
windows down. If it’s a ballad, I want them to hear the emotion in my voice and
feel it with me.
· What’s the greatest compliment you’ve received about your music? The other day someone told
me I’m a good songwriter – that meant so much to me, because my songs are so
close to my heart, and I’m so glad that others can enjoy that along with me.
