Multi-instrumentalist and producer, I can help with audio editing, sound design, mixing, vocal tuning, and sound design. I can also help with creating custom VST presets, backing tracks, drum sample replacement, and Ableton setups for live situations.

Cameron Bailey is a musician, composer, and producer currently living in Los Angeles.

Other than his solo project, Cameron also plays in other bands and plays African style percussion for modern dance and yoga classes. He is the drummer and co-producer for electronic-rock duo, I-Exist (www.iexistband.com). Cam has toured extensively in the U.S. with I-Exist, and international tours in South America and Hong Kong with his jazz trio.
Cameron holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Butler University and works as a freelance musician while continuing to play with I-Exist and produce and perform his solo music. He teaches percussion, guitar, and piano lessons in Los Angeles and works as a sound designer and music producer.

"I'm always open to collaborating with other artists or just playing a small part in your idea. Whether it be recording instruments, mixing your songs, or if you just need a second set of ears, let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to provide!"
