All too recently, this melodically-driven, little blonde began blending the classic feel of early American music (Folk, early Country/Western, Soul) with the sweet shine of Pop. Her storyteller lyrics walk a romantic line between worldly wisdom and Disney charm, and judging by her fan base this sort of thing appeals to all of us.
Camaron Ochs' debut album “Heartforward” (Jan 2010) was released in front of a sold-out audience at Red Devil Lounge in San Francisco. Just a month after the release, the record's first single "You Were Late" began spinning on San Francisco's KFOG, shortly followed by live appearances on Napa's KVYN and Pescadero's KPDO. Critics have acknowledged her as a "local gem" with a "velvet touch", applauding the record and commending its "pretty vocals, charming lyrics... Heartforward is classic singer/songwriter stuff." She was voted "Artist of the Month" by an SF Deli Magazine fan poll and has been featured in the SF Bay Guardian, East Bay Express, Lamorinda Weekly, San Jose Mercury News and more. She has played well-known stages all over the Western US such as The Venetian, Cafe Du Nord, and Crane's Hollywood Tavern (Tour 2010).
Proving it's never too early to give back, Camaron's music has already supported VH1's Save the Music, Contra Costa Children's Chorus, Fonkoze (Haiti), St Baldrick's (Child Cancer Research), and SF's Autism Hearts Foundation.
While touring to support "Heartforward", Ochs (pronounced "Oaks" like the tree, in case you're wondering) has already begun working on a new record set for release in the fall of 2010. Get ready to hear a lot more of this rising folk-pop star.
