Beginning by composing demos in her parents’ home, honing her skills in indie pop-rock bands Friendly Foes and Kiddo, and finally stepping out on her own, Wittman realized it was time for Lettercamp to take physical form.

Over time, they began to improvise on what Wittman had laid the foundation for. Now they write as a full unit, putting tracks together as a band. The live show is a different beast altogether, and one that has already garnered the fledgling band attention. An intricate production with lights and screens, projections and silhouettes, Lettercamp is visually captivating a
