A record born inside CAMP just landed on some of the biggest playlists in the game.
“Stuck” is what happens when a room full of talented people who have never met decide to trust the process, make something from scratch, and leave as friends with a finished record they actually own.
This is why CAMP exists.

This is a full squad record. Artists, writers, producers, and engineers all locked in together, building something from zero in a CAMP room that was set up for one outcome: leave with a song that can live in the world.
From strangers in a room to a song on massive playlists
Nobody walked into that CAMP room as a pre-packaged “supergroup.”They walked in as strangers.
A few hours later, they walked out as collaborators with a finished track that now lives on:
Northern Bars
New Music Friday
Fresh Finds
RADAR Canada
Multiple Apple Music playlists that helped carry the record to new listeners
On Spotify alone, “Stuck” has already passed 17,000 streams and it has been out for less than three weeks.
That is not manufactured buzz. That is what happens when you give talented people a room, a clear goal, and a community that believes in the music first.
What really happens inside a CAMP room
CAMP is not about ego or hierarchy. It is about a shared standard.
Here is what a typical room feels like:
Producers show up with ideas, folders, and stems, ready to build something from scratch with whoever is in front of them
Artists bring their real stories, current sound, and an open mind
Writers sharpen toplines, hooks, and structure so the song connects fast
Engineers capture performances in real time, keep momentum high, and protect the vibe
The clock is running, but it never feels like pressure for the sake of pressure. It feels like possibility.
People who may never have crossed paths on their own end up locked in together, listening deeply, trying ideas, scrapping ideas, and finding the version of the song that feels like all of them.
You come in not knowing anyone. You leave with a record that could change the next year of your career and a group chat that keeps going long after camp is done.
Ownership at CAMP and how this CAMP is different
One of the biggest questions people have about songwriting camps is simple.
If I make a song here, do I actually own it and can I release it
At CAMP, the default answer is yes.
The songs created in our rooms belong to the creatives who made them
If you are on the record and the room agrees, you can move forward, clear splits, and release
We encourage artists, producers, and writers to talk splits in the room so everyone leaves with clarity and respect in place
CAMP is not a content farm. It is a place where real songs get finished and can move.
For this particular CAMP, there is an added layer.We are collaborating with a label partner for a specific batch of records that will be pitched directly to them. Those records follow a separate process that everyone involved is informed about.
Everything else Those songs still belong to the creatives in the room. If it is not being pitched through the label collaboration lane, you and your collaborators own the record and control what happens next.
The success of “Stuck”
“Stuck” is a perfect example of what can happen when that approach is taken seriously.
In under three weeks, the record has:
Landed on major Spotify editorial playlists including Northern Bars, New Music Friday, Fresh Finds, and RADAR Canada
Been featured on several Apple Music playlists that helped put the song in front of new ears across Canada and beyond
Crossed over 17,000 streams on Spotify alone with organic momentum and community support
This is not a fluke track that quietly came and went. It is a record that is traveling because the song is strong, the collaboration is real, and the infrastructure around it is intentional.
Go behind the scenes with Drei Paun
We did not just want to talk about “Stuck.”We wanted to show you how it felt in the room.
We brought in director Drei Paun to capture the making of the song and the energy of CAMP from the inside. The behind the scenes footage gives you a real window into how strangers become a team in a few hours and how a song like “Stuck” comes together in real time.
On top of that, the official music video matches the record. It is sharp, expressive, and another reason this song keeps reaching new listeners.
If you want to understand what CAMP feels like beyond the photos, you need to watch that footage.
Why this matters for music creatives
CAMP is for music creatives overall.Producers, artists, writers, and engineers who want to be in rooms where songs actually get finished and released.
You do not need a certain follower count or a specific “industry look.”You need three core things.
A real desire to grow
Respect for the people in the room with you
The willingness to show up fully and contribute
CAMP gives you:
Rooms filled with people who are actually making and releasing music
A clear process that gets you from idea to finished record in a focused amount of time
A community and infrastructure that can support the rollout when it makes sense
“Stuck” is not the exception. It is the blueprint.
Put talented people in the right room, remove the ego, protect ownership, and give them a clear path to release. The outcome is records that can land on playlists, build catalogs, and open doors.
