Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter Cam has taken the country music scene by storm over the past year. She released her critically-acclaimed debut EP, Welcome to Cam Country, in March of 2015 and her platinum-certified, Grammy-nominated, hit-single "Burning House" the following June. Instantly popular, "Burning House" peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, took the top spot in Rolling Stone Country's 25 Best Country Songs of 2015 list and was the highest-selling female country song of 2015.
Her debut full-length album, Untamed, was released in December to notable acclaim from news outlets including theNew York Times, Rolling Stone Country, The Associated Press, AllMusic and The Washington Post, which ranked the album No. 1 among "The Month's Best Music" that month. The album peaked at No. 2 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart and earned the distinction of being 2015's best first-week album sales by a debut country artist. Each song on the album was co-written by Cam, who built up a career writing songs for artists like Miley Cyrus before stepping into the spotlight herself.
