A talent recognized from a young age, Cameron drew attention with his expressive rhetorical performance approach and cheerfully ambitious attitude. At age 14, he was named the best all round musician in the Queensland Youth Music Awards taking out all 3 prizes and performing Kabalevsky Concerto at the Brisbane City Hall. 3 years later, he performed Vivaldi's Summer at the Bonyi International Music Festival at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre.

After completing his Bachelor of Music (Advanced Performance) at the Queensland Conservatorium under Michele Walsh, Cameron studied for three years at the Australian National Academy of Music (ANAM). During this time he studied under William Hennessy and Dr Robin Wilson. Cameron's quartet during his early study set a benchmark for his cohort and featured prominently in masterclasses with international artists such as the New Zealand Quartet and Brodsky Quartet and in the second season of Quartetthaus. Highlights included performing in a quintet with artistic director Paul Dean for Dame Elizabeth Murdoch, jumping high in the air in a Hindson duet with Dale Barltrop, leading an ensemble performing Milhaud with Nicholas Carter and as concertmaster and co-director of the ANAM Orchestra with Paavali Jumppanen. 

As a soloist during his studies, he performed Mozart's fifth violin concerto with the Conservatorium Chamber Orchestra (2011), Meditation with Opera Scholars Australia (2015), and Bruch's Violin Concerto (2015) and The Lark Ascending (2016) with Essendon Symphony Orchestra.

Cameron plays a 2009 John Simmers violin modelled on the "Viotti" Stradivarius and a W. E. Hill & Sons bow.
