Singer-songwriter Colyn Cameron of Wake Owl has been immersed in the world of music for the past ten years. Now based in Vancouver, BC, and Portland, OR, Colyn was originally born and raised in southern California. After graduation Colyn trained in organic agriculture at Emerson College in England, worked on different farms throughout the UK, Germany, Chile, and Canada and traveled the world. Upon returning from his travels, Colyn spent some time playing in bands before deciding to record the songs he had written after his journey, and thus began his first completed body of work, the "Wild Country" EP, which served as a prelude to the band Wake Owl’s debut full-length, "The Private World of Paradise," with more of a rock-band instrumental sound. Recorded at National Freedom studios in Oregon with producer Richard Swift (The Shins, Foxygen), that album is effortlessly cohesive, telling stories of love, loss, and dreams. “ The title was a phrase that came to me one day and just stuck with me,” notes Colyn, “I wrote it down a lot and the more I thought about it the more I realized a lot of the songs on the album were me in some sort of paradisiacal imaginative state."The Private World of Paradise" places playful experimentation and raw emotion in perfect harmony, and it showcases a fine new songwriting voice.
