Canada’s Cameron Whitcomb released “Bad Apple” on May 2nd. The track sees Cameron pushing his intensely personal sound towards an alternative direction, employing the age-old bad apple metaphor to grapple with the idea of how things can be so good, yet so bad at the same time. The 21 year old Nanaimo, BC-based artist just wrapped up his Hundred Mile High sold out tour dates in March and April in support of his 2024 debut EP Quitter — a fearlessly candid collection of songs inspired by his journey in overcoming addiction. “I was probably 12 the first time I had a drink or smoked weed, and within a few years I was doing cocaine and meth and whatever else I could find,” says Cameron Whitcomb. “I grew up in a family of addicts, and drugs have always been a big part of my environment. My best friend went into treatment and it changed his whole life, and I knew I had to do the same thing for my own mental health.”
