Lito Camot is a Filipino songwriter known for his commercially-successful novelty songs, which are mostly made up of catchy melodies interspersed with witty lyricisms. Notable compositions include "Ms Flawless", "Ye Ye Vonnel", "Sumunod Sa Galaw ng Ilaw(Gamo-gamo)", "Spageti Song", "Bulaklak", "In or Out" and "Otso-Otso".

He has received criticism for not taking songwriting seriously and being low-class and uncouth. He claims "Sometimes, my friends would tease me saying that while they put a lot of hard work into their compositions, it’s my ‘nonsense’ songs that become hits".

Career

Before songwriting, Lito Camo was a family diver and domestic helper. [ [http://www.mb.com.ph/issues/2005/04/18/ENTR2005041832924.html Lito Camo: Stories in novelties] ]

In 1997, he released his debut album entitled "Sino Camo Baduy?, ayos ka ah!", featuring the hit song "Kung Ikaw", and the follow-up single "Hey Babe". However, his follow-up album, "Ano Camo?,leche ka ah!", sold poorly. Following this, he wrote jingles for commercials and television shows.

He had a breakthrough hit in 2001 with the song "Bakit Papa, tawag mo ako?", and was credited for ushering in the novelty genre in the country's music industry. This was followed by the release of the novelty song "Otso-Otso".

He has released a solo album titled "Ako Naman, Kanina Kapa Eh".

He also wrote songs for Manny Pacquiao.
