He believes that his first moment under the spot light truly cemented his calling for music.
“The key moment in my music career thus far has definitely been when my grandmother, who is a member of a fitness class, asked me to sing during a concert that the class was hosting, after another musician had stepped out at the last minute. I believe that was truly my defining moment as a young musician. It provided me with an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone. I also sang in acapella which is something that I really enjoy doing,” said the talented youngster.
The local lad is passionate about music from the 90s and the 80s and is inspired by musician, Josh Groban. Cameron is also perusing a Diploma in Fitness and hopes to become a musician on cruise ships.
