Quarantini Hour: KAMAUU Talks Livestreaming, Music + More

American singer/rapper KAMAUU dropped his latest single "Far Rockaway" last month and with a placement on the hit HBO series, Insecure, he's getting plenty of attention. You can check out the official video for "Far Rockaway" below.

KAMAUU brings the good vibes with him to our setlist.fm Quarantini Hour. Find out what he's watching, listening to and more.

How have you been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic?

It’s provided obstacles that have, like obstacles do, inspired growth. For example, I’ve gotten better at using livestreaming to connect with my support base, generate income, and grow my brand. It’s also provided strain on my finances that has activated a higher level of hustle within myself.

Paint us a picture of your current headquarters.

I live in an artist home called the “Tangerine House”. It’s a two floor apartment with a colorful array of artists, mostly musicians, that live there. Amongst those residents are SIIMBA SELASSIIE, Haile Supreme, and Allan Kingdom.

What activities have you been doing to keep yourself busy?

I don’t need to keep myself busy. There is always so much to do. Even being still and practicing “inactivity” is a task, and a very important one. I exercise a lot, work on my album, do freelance sound/film/editing work, eat alkaline, meditate, and work a lot on supplemental content.

What movies and TV have you been watching?

I love action films, especially Korean. When I do watch films, I try to find things that were really well written, like The Last Black Man in San Francisco by Joe Talbot, Grand Budapest Hotel by Wes Anderson, or Shadow by Zhang Yimou.

What music or podcasts have you been listening to?

I listen to a lot of instrumental music. One of my favorites right now is the Salaam Remi produced instrumental for the song “You’re My Angel”.

Are you planning on tuning into or producing any livestream performances?

I tuned into the COLORS Berlin live stream, it’s been great. I’ll have a few more livestreams of my own, stay tuned!

How can fans support you in this time of tour postponements and social distancing?

Respect themselves, eat very healthily, feel very healthily, think very healthily, move very healthily, and be very healthy. Spread my music, check out live shows, buy my merch, and stay tuned in to my Instagram for announcements!

What’s your best song for getting through a scary/confusing time?

My new song "Far Rockaway" is pretty upbeat and discusses dealing with separation. I’d recommend that! (Listen at the top of the blog post)

What are a few of your best songs for an at-home workout playlist?

I would say “Icarus”, “FoolMoon”, “bamboo”, “MăNDŭRĭN”, “GōLD”, “Jambo”, & “The Sun King.”

Where can fans get the latest info and updates from you?

The best places right now would be my instagram @KAMAUUworld and my website KAMAUU.world.
