Cami Maree is a Nashville-based country rock artist and songwriter with a powerhouse voice and a sound that brings together the heart of country and the grit and energy of rock. Soulful and raw, her music moves between full-throttle country rock and intimate, story-driven songs—think the vocal power and rock edge of Carrie Underwood, vulnerability and honesty of Megan Moroney, and Chris Stapleton soul.
Cami Maree makes music for people who have lived, loved, lost, and still refuse to stop chasing the life they want. She writes about fighting for what matters, finding freedom, holding onto faith and moving forward when life doesn’t go as planned. Sometimes deeply emotional and sometimes unapologetically fun, her music makes room for the hard parts without losing sight of everything worth living for.
That perspective is hard-earned. Cami has survived serious illness and circumstances that have shaped both her writing and the way she sees the world. Rather than allowing those experiences to define her, they’ve strengthened her belief that life is meant to be lived fully, people are meant to be loved deeply, and dreams are worth fighting for.
It all comes alive onstage. Whether it’s a stripped-down songwriter round or a full-band country rock show, Cami brings commanding vocals, raw emotion, and an energy meant to be experienced, not just heard - creating the kind of moments that stick with you.
Now writing, recording and performing in Nashville, Cami is releasing a new chapter of music that plants her firmly in country rock, with her sights set on bigger stages ahead.
The Story Behind the Sound
In the late winter of 2010, with a newborn in her arms and three more young children at home, Cami Maree received life-changing news: she had a rare, incurable autoimmune liver disease. Faced with an uncertain future, she turned to songwriting as a place to process everything she was carrying. Music had always been something she loved, but during that season it became something more—a way to work through the fear, ask hard questions, hold onto hope and say the things she couldn’t always say out loud.
Her songwriting journey began in a deeply spiritual place. While leading worship at her local church on Vashon Island, Washington, Cami began to understand just how powerful honesty and vulnerability could be when put to music. Over the years, she went on to serve as a worship leader at churches throughout Washington, Florida and Colorado, including four years on staff at a large church in Colorado Springs. Those years shaped her as both a songwriter and performer and remain an important part of the faith and purpose behind what she does today.
In 2012, Cami stepped onto her first public stage at a local farmers market. What started small grew quickly. Within a year, she was performing throughout the Seattle area at venues including The Crocodile, Hard Rock Cafe and The Triple Door and building a following of listeners who connected with both her voice and her songs.
Less than a year after that first show, Cami raised more than $15,000 through crowdfunding to record her debut album, Run Free, released in 2013. The album captured a defining season of her life and explored healing, resilience and the decision to fully live the life in front of her.
Then she did something that took that idea well beyond the music. Cami and her family sold most of their belongings, packed into a minivan with a tent trailer and hit the road. What followed was a season of travel, music and family that reflected many of the things she had been writing about—freedom, faith and choosing to live with intention.
In late 2019, Cami relocated to Colorado Springs and began another chapter of her career. The COVID-19 pandemic brought live music to a halt shortly afterward, but as venues reopened, she rebuilt her musical presence and became an active part of the Colorado music scene, performing regularly throughout the state.
Between 2021 and 2022, Cami released a series of singles including Free, Power of the Blood and How Do We Wanna Go Out, along with the seasonal EP A Cami Maree Christmas.
Then, in 2023, life changed course again. A cancer diagnosis forced Cami to step away from performing for major surgery and a year of recovery. Songs she had already recorded for an upcoming project suddenly carried a different weight. In August 2023, she released Scars, a deeply personal collection of songs that reflected much of what she had lived through.
Cami returned to releasing music with Free (SlayDay Remix) in May 2025, giving one of her fan-favorite songs an entirely different energy while showcasing another side of her voice and artistry.
Later that year, Cami relocated to the Nashville area and began the chapter she’s in now—writing, co-writing, recording and performing while moving more intentionally into the country rock sound that feels like home.
After everything that has changed over the years, a few things haven’t: Cami still believes deeply in the power of a song to connect people, in making the most of the life she’s been given, and in chasing the dreams that refuse to let go.
