Greg Camp (born Gregory Dean Camp on April 2, 1967 in West Covina, California) is a guitarist and lead songwriter for the band Smash Mouth.
[edit] Background
Camp has written some of Smash Mouth’s most memorable songs of the later 1990s and early 2000s, including "All Star" and "Then the Morning Comes". He also provides backup vocals to lead vocalist Steven Harwell. Like the other members of the band, Camp usually appears in public wearing sunglasses, no matter what the weather. Camp is recognizable for often donning outrageous, neon colored glasses.
Camp credits KISS and Van Halen as his early influences. He insists that he reads every bit of fan mail that the band receives. Camp believes checking the mail helps him keep track of how many people love Smash Mouth, and how many people hate them. Camp's favorite venue is any club in Canada during the dead of winter. He has nothing against downloading music over the internet, and admits that he frequently gets his music in that fashion. Camp believes that the key to succeeding in the music industry is to be able to constantly reinvent oneself.
