About the Artist
Cameron is the guitarist and creative backbone of Surefire, a modern metal band known for its precision, grit, and unapologetic energy. Raised in a household where rock and metal were constant companions, his path to music was set early. Inspired by legends like Kirk Hammett, Synyster Gates, and Matt Heafy, Cameron developed a style that blends technical mastery with raw emotion.
His tone is defined by saturation, grit, and clarity, driven by a minimalist setup featuring low action, light strings, and the precision of an Evertune bridge. On stage, he’s a focused force, channeling every ounce of intensity into the performance. Off stage, he’s the band’s tech, writer, and problem-solver, embodying the relentless work ethic that fuels Surefire’s rise.
Cameron’s choice of guitars is simple. He loves Ormsby because they deliver everything a serious player needs. The comfort, craftsmanship, and tonal range give him the confidence to perform at his best every time. “They feel right in my hands and sound incredible,” he says. “They’re built for the kind of power I need.”
For Cameron, metal is more than sound. It is a soul-bound connection. His message to listeners is simple and real: hang in there, keep pushing, and never stop chasing what sets your soul on fire.
