This EP explores navigating childhood trauma and grief through young adult eyes.

Parts of this work were created on the lands of the Wurunderji Woi-wurrung and Bunurong peoples of the Kulin Nation, who have been creating song in this place for thousands of generations. I would like to acknowledge their Elders, past, present, and emerging. Sovereignty was never ceded. It always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

Testimonials

"Cameron is one of the most talented and gifted musicians I have had the privilege of crossing paths with. He is extremely adept at songwriting and arranging across a plethora of genres. I have personally seen how he has worked on multiple songs of disparate genres and still deliver heartfelt lyrics and melodies in a tasteful way as if he was already a veteran of that sound. 

On top of this, he is also skilled in vocal production and audio mixing, and has a good ear for how everything should sound. All in all, Cameron definitely has what it takes to understand your musical vision and see it through." 

- Clement Ng | Dirty Window (Gig Organiser), Guitarist of outer orbit.

"Cameron is one of the most hardworking and efficient workers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. He is diligent in all he does, fulfilling all the roles he is assigned and completing everything on time. 

As the Music Director for the Singapore Polytechnic Music Festival 2023, he made sure everything was submitted and completed on time. He is neat in planning logistics and carrying out admin work, and he communicates effectively." 

- Daniel Wong | Chairman of Singapore Polytechnc Music Festival 2023, jupiterkid (Artist)
