Kam has been playing bass, six-string bass and keys on the South Florida scene for over twenty years. While playing mostly live rock and top-40, his approach to composing includes elements of jazz, classical, r & b and world music. These styles are all evident in the compositions on NATIVE TONGUE, his solo enhanced CD. More recently, Kam has created an independent label called, FALKREATIONS MUSIC. The label recently celebrated the release of Marcel Morejon's debut CD entitled, ESPIRITU. Currently, Kam is working toward a master's degree in music composition at FAU and can be seen performing with ALEX DEAN, DAVID JOHN, and GARY BIVONA. Kam also performs with RUBICON and Keith MacKendrick, with ELECTRIC CHURCH. Below are some pic's of Kam and a few of the other players with whom he performs and records. Also, check out DREW PRESTON KUSHNER'S space. Drew's guitar tracks on NATIVE TONGUE include Around the Bend, Pursuit and Bolivia.
