DJ Camper talks working with Mariah Carey

DJ Camper has been making a huge impact on R&B for the last few years. Aside from the massive Tamar
Braxton single "Love & War" which ended up being nominated at the Grammy's, his music can be found on most of the bigger R&B albums that have come out recently for artists like Keyshia Cole, John Legend and Chrisette Michele. His tag "Hey DJ" is now one of the most recognized and ironically enough, he is the one saying "Hey" and making listeners pay attention to his music. YouKnowIGotSoul had a chance to speak with the super producer about his journey in the music industry, his Grammy nominations, his creative process and his upcoming work with Ne-Yo and Mariah Carey.

I also read that you did a song on Mariah Carey's upcoming album?
Yep, me and Mariah definitely did something really special. I did that song with Hit-Boy too and Nas is featured on it. It's going to be crazy. The song is called "Dedication". I definitely had an overwhelming excitement putting piece together for her. I didn't know it was going to be for her, but I got the call that said "Yeah, Mariah Carey picked it. She wants it." I was like "Okay, she's a legend and I love her. Let's do it!" I'm very excited for everyone to hear that. That album is coming soon, so stay tuned for that.
