the cameron experience

I am known by many names (mainly Cameron). I am currently a senior Musical Theatre major at James Madison University with minors in Music, French, and Honors Interdisciplinary Studies. I am in the throes of working on my Honors Capstone — an original play with music (Holler if You Hear) that will be produced in the JMU Studio Theatre this Spring.

I am a singer-songwriter and theatre artist currently based in Washington, D.C. and avid lover of board games (my friends know I have a satchel full of them in my closet). I have not yet written a song about board games, but I assume one day that will come. I’m a homebody and a hugger (and a lover of alliteration, literary techniques, and the the Oxford comma).

Many recognize me from far away by my hair.

Born in Springfield, Massachusetts, and raised in Washington, D.C., I’ve been surrounded with art from a young age. From growing up in an arts hub, following my mom to work to George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium, to writing original musicals with a friend throughout high school, music and theatre has never not been a part of my life. At the start of high school I picked up the guitar for the first time, and during quarantine I began to put all the teen lockdown angst I was feeling into song, sparking a lasting passion for songwriting (although I’d like to think I’ve moved on from the teen emo pop into more of a folk and bluegrass space).

I don’t like talking about my artistic process. Hire me to find out <3

(This is a joke.)

I strive to make things I care about with people I care about. When I bring that response to family dinners, no one knows what I’m talking about.

“That’s not specific enough.”

Personally, I don’t have any one specific thing or goal — there’s too much, I want too much to boil it down. And so it seems like a reasonable answer:

I want to make things I care about with people I care about.
