Cameron Whitcomb on Writing His First Love Song, American Idol, Sobriety, and Album ‘The Hard Way’

From working the pipeline in the wilds of Canada to posting karaoke videos in his living room on reddit to landing in the top 20 on ‘American Idol,’ from substance addiction to sobriety, to bidding wars and his 2025 debut album ‘The Hard Way,’ Cameron Whitcomb has lived a lot of life in his 23 years. It’s a record that’s arresting in its tell-it-like-it-is honesty and rife with memorable hooks. We talk to him about all of this: the high-highs and lows, his tireless work ethic, new love (and his first ever love song!), plus his upcoming Stagecoach performance. Oh and what he really thinks about his girlfriend’s pitbulls. Stream "You and Me" ►► https://drop.cobrand.com/d/CameronWhitcomb/youandme This episode is sponsored by AlexaPlus.
