Cam Steen is a San Diego based multi-instrumentalist-producer-dj bringing throwdown bass, zesty guitar licks, and tranquil handpan to acquisitive ears. Cam's musical quest began by way of guitar at nine years old, forced upon by Mom. After shredding metal licks for ten years, a curiosity for jazz, funk, classical, indie, and electronic music arose which lead to becoming a member in various bands playing guitar and drums. Cam realized playing/making music was the ultimate sauce, and being able to reliably live in the sauce required a solo project and music production skills. During this process, an increasing love for electronic music festivals began to blossom, and the discovery of the handpan became a new obsession. Cam attempts to blend these elements taking inspiration from artists like Morillo, Evan Hatfield, Chmura, Ooga, Kabecao, and many others to create unique instrument driven electronic music tracks. You can find Cam throwing down these filthy tracks at festivals, or aligning people's chakras with the handpan at sound healing sanctuaries. Cam has previously opened for Dirtwire, Atyya, Estas T onne, Equanimous, and Savej, has played at Same Same but Different music festival, Pantasia, (west coast's best handpan festival) and San Diego's most notable venues like The Quartyard and Music Box.
