Camden local Jazzie B of Soul II Soul said “It was an amazing experience to be a part of CAMDEN. The wonderful thing about Camden is it’s full of innovation and creativity […] I kinda feel like the gatekeeper of Camden, you gotta come through me if you wanna be a part of it.”
Meanwhile, Sister Bliss commented: “We wouldn’t be Faithless without Soul II Soul […] Camden is the place I lived, the first ever record deal, the first ever clubbing spot. The team really managed to capture Camden’s sense of energy and possibility.” Speaking about Faithless bandmate Maxi Jazz, she added: “We lost Maxi in 2022 and I wish he was here to see the documentary.”
Suzanne Lavery, Executive Producer said “[Camden] became this huge love-in of incredible artists sharing their stories and we created an incredible documentary together. It became one big rich tapestry of Camden-ness and we can’t wait for you to enjoy it all when it’s out on Disney+.”
Nick Shymansky, Executive Producer said “Amy [Winehouse] and I came here and saw Kanye’s first show together. Being around the people that are the epitome Camden is inspiring and goes on to inspire generations of music to come.
