Brittney: How do you balance being an actor and a recording artist? If you had to pick one, which would you pick?
Camryn: I allow the opportunity to present itself and move in the direction that makes the most sense. I am an artist and both fronts allow me to display that. I can’t place one over the over, but I do believe the natural progression would be to pursue music first as that is the root. I was raised in an environment where acting complimented the presentation of the music so imagine acting being a brush and music being the paint.
