Born in London, Cameron was raised on the Caribbean island of Dominica. Like most of his peers, Cameron's early musical influences were Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff, and a host of artists from that era of popular Jamaican music, oh, and Stevie Wonder. At sixteen he taught himself to play the guitar, and it was within the reggae genre that he first established himself, working with Jamaican artists including Clint Eastwood & General Saint, Barrington, Levy, Dennis Brown and numerous others. Then came the slow discovery of George Benson and Charlie Christian, and through them, Wes Montgomery, Miles Davis and Charlie Parker. His own musical taste direction veered towards jazz, and his taste and talent brought him to London where he became a regular on the Calypso, reggae, and jazz circuit.
Touring the world playing with Courtney Pine’s award winning band Cameron’s guitar style has dazzled many a jazz fan, come summer 2006 and Cameron feels that the time is right to release his first straight ahead jazz record. The project needed the right players and to obtain that special sound he enlisted the efforts of Swedish Organist Anders Olinder (known for his work with Pee Wee Ellis) a big fish on the Bristol jazz scene and another newcomer to the British scene American Drummer Rod Youngs.
Many of the compositions took root in Dominica so there are places on the album where his Caribbean roots shine through. The well chosen covers display Cameron’s sense of the past and the now.
Pad Up ( get ready ) is Pierre’s debut release on Courtney Pine’s Destin-E Record label and when asked why he released a Guitarist first and not a Vocalist he replied “ Cameron Pierre is one of the finest musicians that I have meet , he has that elusive quality of being able to play the past, present and future styles of jazz – without a doubt he is one of the finest jazz Guitarist to be produced by Great Britain”. High praise indeed from a musician who has worked with just about everybody on the world jazz scene. This is Cameron’s 5th record release and he hopes that it will reach not only the die hard jazz fans but people who like to be moved by music . The internet revolution has already seen him receive glowing reviews from people all over the world that are moved by his warm, dexterous sound the British jazz scene has found a new champion with a fresh yet traditional sound
