The buzzed-about singer/songwriter released his debut EP in 2020 to critical acclaim, with Billboard celebrating the “solid six-track collection” that “show[s] his promise as a songwriter” and Country Insider affirming the project “reveals a musical maturity and expertise beyond his 23 years.” MusicRow declares “This kind of vocal conviction is what makes a star… I am more convinced than ever that this boy has what it takes.”
ABOUT KAMERON MARLOWE:
They say Nashville is a 10-year town, but it only took Kameron Marlowe seven months to launch himself from struggling singer-songwriter and into the spotlight.
Marlowe found success with his independent debut release, “Giving You Up” – a heartbreak anthem that has topped more than 30 million streams and counting. It’s the first song Marlowe finished writing and it came with a personal price. The singer was 20 years old and planning to propose when his would-be fiancée dumped him for someone else. To get his feelings out, he picked up a pen.
“I had things I wanted to say,” Marlowe said. “I started writing and over the course of several weeks, it turned into a song that means something to me and honestly, helped me through a hard time.
Born in the small town of Kannapolis, North Carolina, Kameron sold car parts at General Motors for a living before he got a call that changed his life forever. A recruiter from NBC’s The Voice found performance videos of Marlowe on YouTube and reached out with an offer to take him straight to the series’ live auditions. The offer was too good to pass up.
While he didn’t win, Marlowe said “The Voice” is responsible for getting him to Nashville. Some of his cast-mates were songwriters from Music City. He had dabbled in songwriting at home, but the concept of doing it professionally was foreign. When his new friends explained the collaborative nature of Nashville’s creative community, everything clicked into place.
