Growing up on a small town bordering Mexico, Cameron was inspired by the similarities and differences in music she experienced being bicultural and bilingual. Although her journey began as a dancer, learning various rhythms and styles to over ten different genres sparked the musicianship in her soul. She began with piano lessons and vocal lessons at a young age leading her to become the main vocalist for the Ellington Band in the Tucson Jazz Institute. After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in Music, she continues her education and research on incorporating healing frequencies and vibrations to her original work in hopes to raise awareness of its benefits in mainstream music. Being a Hispanic Asian-American woman, she is going against the current of musical marketing norms and drawing from my roots to create a space where genre-fluid music can live and thrive whilst also creating a community of artist and listeners who feel they are unfit for a single labeled box.
