Shawn Camp

Camp was raised in Perryville, Arkansas by a musical family.[2] In 1987, he moved to Nashville, Tennessee and worked in the backing bands of such acts as the Osborne Brothers, Alan Jackson, Suzy Bogguss and Trisha Yearwood.[3] In 1991, he was signed to Reprise Records, with two minor Top 40 singles charting in 1993.[3] He later left the label over creative differences, but continued to write songs for other artists.

Camp's first Number One as a songwriter came in early 1998, when Garth Brooks reached the top of the Billboard country charts with "Two Piña Coladas", a song co-written by Camp.[2] Later that same year, Brooks & Dunn also reached Number One with "How Long Gone", another Camp co-write.[3][4] Camp released a second album, titled Lucky Silver Dollar, in 2001.[3] In 2006, he was nominated as Songwriter of the Year by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music; also, Billboard ranked him #10 on their 2006 list of Hot Country Songwriters.[5] The same year, two songs co-written by Camp entered the country charts: "Nobody But Me" by Blake Shelton, and "Would You Go with Me" by Josh Turner, which peaked at No. 4 and No. 1, respectively, on the Billboard U.S. Hot Country Songs charts. Camp also co-wrote Turner's 2007 single "Firecracker" and George Strait's 2008 single "River of Love".
