Cam Murdoch crafts surrealistic anthems of self-realization and love; taking the golden age of jazz-infused hip hop into the future with buttery beats and astute, contemporary perspective.
Murdoch’s melodious roots spring from his past as a cellist and guitarist and his musicality suites him well as an emcee / producer. After releasing an array of mixtapes and albums under varying pseudonyms which were heavily influenced by early output from Kid Cudi, Childish Gambino or Frank Ocean, Murdoch finally arrived in his current form; finding his voice in the world’s ever evolving playlist as a sage-like seeker of truth.
Reflecting on his dignified return to his zen roots, Murdoch states “I started out doing some of the same things that I had in the past but none of them were working. I was used to drawing from my sadness, creating as a coping mechanism.” The MC then made a deliberate choice to fulfill his purpose as a positive voice in the wilderness and began to break down his rhyme schemes into more digestible forms. “I think that it’s a common misconception that popular music is mindless” Cameron notes. “I think that it requires a special talent to bring substance into such an undemanding art form.”
‘IWDWS (I Wannna Dance With Somebody)” is the second track on Cam Murdoch’s recent EP ‘I Love Me Too‘ and features co-production from fellow Norfolk, VA based producer Marq Beezy. Cam enlists the talents of Dawit N.M. and Bradford Wainwright for a cinematic visual accompaniment to his heartfelt ode to young love.
