"This experience was so awesome," Cam said after his recording session at the YouTube Space studio in Los Angeles. "Having the opportunity to work with the songwriters to create my own version of 'Silent Night' in two days was amazing. And also, because I was discovered on YouTube, being included in their programming is an incredible feeling."

After posting several videos showcasing his natural soulful R&B vocals to his YouTube channel at age 12, Cam was invited to join The Ellen Show for an interview and performance. Shortly after, the exceptionally-talented was signed by Dr. Dre's 'Aftermath Entertainment' record label. The now-14-year-old Cam Anthony is currently recording new music for his debut album.

"We're so thrilled that Cam was recognized and selected for this project from the many, many incredibly talented content creators on YouTube," said Toya Hankins, Cam's manager and owner of Project Producers, LLC. "The chance to collaborate with a powerhouse like YouTube is not only an incredible career opportunity for Cam, but is also a dream come true for him as well."
