Casey Cameron is a professional pianist and composer based in the California Bay Area. His compositions employ a minimalist philosophy that likely stems from his jazz roots and love for improvisational pieces. He believes that a simple foundation, like a sparse canvas, provides the freedom to build something remarkable and varied with each performance. Casey enjoys using compelling harmonic movement to support light and pure melodies, a style that is well-suited to creating an unobtrusive backdrop for film and games. He has a relentless penchant for jazz, blues, and funk and also loves composing small orchestral pieces, metal, rock, and world music.

In mid-2009, a video he scored for Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business won a Bronze Telly Award in the online video category. Most recently, Casey finished a game audio project for MLB 2K10 doing stadium audio design for 2K Games’ Visual Concepts studio.

Casey graduated with honors from Sonoma State University along with departmental honors, marking him as a distinguished graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Performance. While living in the North Bay he studied with his mentor, Allaudin Matthieu, a renowned composer and author of the book, Harmonic Experience: Tonal Harmony from its Natural Origins to its Modern Expression. He has also studied at Pyramind in San Francisco to stay current in the evolving world of music technology.

You can find Casey playing jazz all around the Bay Area.
