Today we’d like to introduce you to Camilla Gratton
Hi Camilla , thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Hi! Thank you guys for having me back for another interview. Last time we talked I told you a bit about my background in life and in music. For those who haven’t had the chance to read that article I’d like to reintroduce myself! My name is Camilla Gratton and I am a singer songwriter. I have had a love for music since a young age and started professionally pursuing it about 3 years ago. I am currently a full time student who while studying music is actively pursuing it as a career in Los Angeles. Since last speaking I have released my first EP, “growing pains”, which is a project that encapsulates my feelings, struggles, and inner thoughts I’ve felt since starting college. I followed that up in July with my most recent single called “Run”. You can listen to my music on streaming platforms including but not limited to Spotify, Apple Music, Youtube Music, etc at Camilla Gratton.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I have definitely had struggles. A struggle I feel is finding balance between school, music, social life, personal care, etc and knowing when to prioritize certain things over others. As well as the anxiety I feel which influences those decisions. Anxiety has been something that I have had to grow to befriend. I think it’s not something you can just get rid of or “deal” with. I have found that sitting with it and allowing it to be heard but not take over is the best way I have been able to regulate it.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
In my original music I mostly make pop songs which have dark pop, indie, singer/songwriter elements. I aim to write vulnerable relatable lyrics that express what I am feeling in hopes that the audience will be invited to be vulnerable themselves. I am most proud of the fact that I am pursuing music. It’s not an easy career to pursue but I feel so passionately about it that I have chosen to do it despite people thinking it’s not a safe career path.
We all have a different way of looking at and defining success. How do you define success?
First of all I’d like to say that success means something different to every single person so my definition of success may not be yours. In general success to me is happiness, fulfillment, and stability. More specifically in my music I find that success to me is connecting with an audience. Whether that is on stage while performing or someone connecting to the music online.
