Camu Tao
Camu was one of the most amazingly talented and truly unique people I’ve ever had the honor of working with. His seemingly unlimited energy, friendliness and constant spontaneity was awe-inspiring. His music was a pure expression of these same characteristics and I was a huge fan since the first time I heard him. While unfortunately I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with him, he was one of those people who you wanted to be around, a magnetic personality in the most genuine way.
Camu, you will be missed. Your family and friends are in my thoughts.

We are truly saddened.
