Cameron started playing piano at 5 years old, he was classically trained and learned how to sight read at a young age. At 10 years of age, he picked up the drums and self taught himself by listening to certain tracks and songs.

Both mentors taught him the roots of jazz piano as well as solo jazz piano. He has played multiple gigs in the Orange County area as well as Los Angeles, to coffee shops, festivals, weddings and more.

With drums, Cameron hs been one of the main drummers of Union Creative, a worship band that plays for the Whittier Area Community Church.
