A multi-award-winning entertainer, Cameron Daddo has acted (24, CSI: Miami, Boston Legal, NCIS, The Mentalist, Nikita, Home & Away), produced, directed for film and television, and performed in music theatre (The Sound of Music, Legally Blonde, Charles Dickens’ The Haunting, The Rocky Horror Show). He is also the host of the number one rating national Smooth FM radio show.
Cameron has enjoyed an extraordinary global career as an actor in film and television. Growing in the shadows of this, has been his passion for composing, playing, and singing country music. A passion that grew from his days as a young boy, busking in the streets of Melbourne, to writing and performing as his acting duties would allow.
Whilst residing in Topanga Canyon, California (an escape favoured by artists seeking a sanctuary from the glamour of Hollywood) he collaborated with like-minded musician Canyon dwellers, including the late Max Merritt. This resulted in the release of three delightful critically acclaimed albums, ‘A Long Goodbye’, ‘Ten Songs And Change’ and ‘Songs From The Shed’.
Since returning to Australia, Cameron has been working with Australian writers including Paul Kelly. An EP ‘Son & Moon’ was recorded with esteemed county music producer, Michael Carpenter.
During one of those recording sessions with Michael, Cameron met country artist Tameaka Powell, professionally known as TEAK, resulting in recording the duet ‘Rolling Stone’, which peaked at #4 on the Australian Country Music Charts. During the same sessions, he recorded his second single, ‘Break Up Fall Out’, a feel good, up tempo live favourite.
