Favourite Person - a love story no one saw coming
Favourite Person by Cameron Emmanuel featuring Lequicia Astrid will be released on streaming platforms on June 27, 2025.
WHEN Cameron Emmanuel first wrote Favourite Person, it wasn't meant for the woman he would one day propose to. It was one of several tracks inspired by a different season of his life.
But fate has a way of flipping the script.
Today, Favourite Person is the soundtrack of a real love story, one that started in a studio and led to a proposal. It's the debut single from Cameron Emmanuel featuring Lequicia Astrid - a heartfelt Afropop duet born out of serendipity, shared pain, and an unexpected turn of events.
Cameron grew up surrounded by music. He was raised on the melodies of the Bee Gees, the Beatles, and Simon & Garfunkel. He picked up a guitar at just 8 years old, and by 16 was teaching himself keys while watching Idols SA and admiring artists like Khaya Mthethwa, who would later become a mentor and collaborator.
