Cameron’s greatest love came from music and teaching. Cameron taught hundreds of students, children, teens, adults all over the country. He traveled extensively to judge and assist in UIL choral workshopping clinics all over the US and was highly sought as a choral clinician.
Cameron was affiliated with numerous recording projects, national broadcasts and musical theater productions as a performer, professional musician and director. He was in demand as a singer, accompanist, adjudicator, musical director, and choral clinician. At the time of his passing he had worked on over 100 musicals and concerts.
Cameron had a successful private vocal studio (Singer By Distinction LLC), while also serving as the Senior Director of Worship, Music and Creative Arts and Spiritual Growth Coordinator at Noelridge Christian Church. He was the Co-founder and Musical Director of Revival Theatre Company (RTC).
