Camden Cox: Songs and Collaborations
The Lincoln singer whose voice cuts through every big dance track you know, now you can follow where it's been.
The voice you keep hearing
If you've ever felt a vocal cut straight through a euphoric trance-house drop and wondered who was singing, there's a decent chance the answer is Camden Cox. She's the Lincoln-born singer-songwriter, producer and DJ who's quietly become one of dance music's most in-demand voices. The person artists call when a track needs a hook that actually lands. You might know her from "Where You Are" with John Summit and Hayla, one of the biggest crossover dance records of recent years. You might know her as the vocalist on Kx5, the Deadmau5 and Kaskade project that picked up a Grammy nomination. Either way, the thread runs deep.
Who's behind it
She's from Lincoln in the East Midlands, born October 1990. Music was in the house from the start. Her mother promoted drum and bass nights in Lincoln, her father played drums in Birmingham. But Camden's own sound went in a different direction: euphoric, melodic dance music that sits between trance and deep house. Built for big rooms but written with real song craft underneath. She's been putting out major releases since the mid-2010s, and in 2022 she signed to RCA Records. A sign of how far her writing and vocal work had already travelled. She's been nominated for Vocalist of the Year at the 2024 Electronic Dance Music Awards and played Lollapalooza 2024.
Why she's in every room
Camden Cox writes songs, not just topline hooks. A lot of dance vocalists get bolted onto a beat after the fact. Her tracks feel written together. The melody and the drop are doing the same job. That's why "Where You Are" won an ASCAP London Award for the co-write, not just a dancefloor reaction. She's also unusually versatile. She can sit on top of a Patrick Topping house groove and sound completely at home, then turn up on a Deadmau5 and Kaskade record and hold her own there too. If you like your dance music with an actual voice and story in it, she's exactly who you're looking for. Solo, she's racked up over 100 million Spotify streams. Across everything she's touched, she's part of over 450 million streams. A good indicator of just how many rooms and playlists her voice has ended up in, often without the listener even clocking her name.
