EP 96 - Kamille: How A South London Girl Became Pop Music Royalty

I didn't know that, you know? I didn't know that.

So, like, let me ask you something.

You're from South? Yes.

How did that shape your surroundings for the job that you have now?

I feel like it was just, for me, the culture.

Like I just only know Streatham to be part of my culture.

So it was like seeing people who look like me.

It was being able to get planted down the high street.

That for me as a like young Jamaican girl was everything.

Being able to like have the freedom to go to the park and everything just felt very close.

Anyone who knows Streatham, you know, like the high street, the longest

high street in Europe, might I add.

It's got the most chicken shops on the street.

It has the most chicken shops on the street.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Fun fact.

but those chicken shops are part of who I am.

Do you know what I mean? I want to know I can go to Morley's after the rave.

And I want to know that I can then go to the fun fair and, and, and you've got Sainsbury's right there.

Like everyone, God bless that Sainsbury's.

I used to work in that Sainsbury's.

Do you know what I mean? I did.

I had a Christmas job there every year.

I'd go and work there.

So I feel like, yeah, Streatham is just who I am.
