the cameron experience

I am known by many names (mainly Cameron). I am currently a junior 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 that will be produced in the JMU Studio Theatre next 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).

Admittedly, decisions scare me. For the longest time, I found this to be a detriment — how am I supposed to choose one of my interests to put all my time into? Now, I use this as an asset. My artistic goal is to create broad, interdisciplinary artistic experiences that many different types of people can work on to create something new!
