BIOGRAPHY

Cameron Marion is a singer/songwriter from the small town of Kernersville, in North Carolina. Cameron grew up in a very musical family, and she was soon singing along to an eclectic mix of artists such as Bette Midler, Stevie Nicks, Barbara Streisand, Michael Jackson and Anita Baker before she was even out of diapers. Even at such a young age she enjoyed the spotlight and kept all of her family and friends entertained.

Cameron started dancing at the age of five, and has since been well versed in all forms. She attended the prestigious North Carolina School of the Arts in their preparatory program as a child, and grew up competing and winning titles in many regional, state and national dance and talent competitions. Throughout the years, Cameron guest sang with local bands at many festivals, clubs, and events. During High School she was the lead singer in her church's youth band, where she was in the position to lead praise and worship for hundreds at the PMBA Ridgecrest Retreat. She also has frequented many sporting events throughout the Carolinas' over the years to lead the National Anthem.

Cameron has been fortunate enough to have worked in the studio with writers and producers for *NSYNC, Jennifer Lopez, Reba McEntire, Aaron Carter & R. Kelly, to name a few. She has been sought out to demo songs for different songwriters and production teams in many genres.

In October of 2005, Cameron picked up and moved from her hometown in NC to Orlando, Florida, after auditioning and making one of three spots in an all-girl pop/urban trio so named TKO (Total Knock Outs), which then transplanted her to Hollywood, CA. TKO was headed up by Angel Carter (reality star on the E! Channel's "House of Carters", and sister to Backstreet Boy, Nick and brother, Aaron Carter), but after release of a single in 2007, a hiatus from the group led to Cameron returning to the south to pursue her solo project where her roots lie in country fused music, and she currently holds the 2008 "Female Country Artist of the Year" award for the Carolinas.

Lately Cameron is in the studio writing and recording, and in the final stages of releasing her EP while also booking and playing shows out with her band. She has been featured in local magazines, radio, print ads, television guest spots, and most recently you can find her as the co-host for a series of infomercials and commercials that air throughout North Carolina.

Robbie Robertson

As a member of The Band, Robbie Robertson changed the course or rock music history, hipping the genre to a more old-timey sound with songs like “The Weight,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” and “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.” His latest solo album, How To Become Clairvoyant, reflects on his rock and roll past.

Jessica Lea Mayfield: Look At Miss Ohio

“Things are starting to get weird.”

Jessica Lea Mayfield, whose Nonesuch Records debut Tell Me is in stores now, is on the phone from her home in Ohio and we’re having a good laugh over her recent success.
