We had the good fortune of connecting with Cam Ro and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cam, why did you pursue a creative career?
Honestly I don’t feel like I pursued being a creative , I feel it pursued me. I’ve always been into creating and I’ve always had an artistic blueprint. Growing up it’s always been a passion to be creative as I got older it became a brand.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Being an artist sometimes it’s a challenge to continuously come up with new ideas and still have originality. I feel like my art is different because it symbolizes who I am and the lifestyle I live. My music is timeless and doesn’t fit any certain demographic. I want the world to know I make art that makes you feel , I make art for the people. My art is a lifestyle. It’s for the people who overcame an obstacle and excelled in any form of fashion. It symbolizes faith. There’s obstacles with anything you do in life but as long as you have love and become obsessed with the grind , you’ll make it out.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If gang in Town we’ll probably go to the spot first to drop off the bags. Probably link up with some of my other homies and politic. Depending on the appetite it could be a variety of things , “Who Got Soul”, “American Deli”, Mirko Pasta , etc. We’d go to a studio session in the South Atlanta area. The clubs we’d mainly go to are “Magic City” , “Ace of Clubs Atl” , “Cheetah” , “Opium”. Some exciting places to check out would the High Museum of Art , Trap Music Museum , I would go to Piedmont Park and definitely check out some art exhibits.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to dedicate this S/O to my pops and grandma, (RIP) to both of them. I would not be the artist I am today without some of their sacrifices and guidance through the earlier stages of my life.
