Previously a member of the band Magic Lantern, he has released several albums of experimental music, including a collaboration with Jamaican reggae group The Congos.

His 2012 collaboration with M. Geddes Gengras and The Congos Icon Give Thank reached number seven on the Billboard Top World Albums chart.

One justification for this he provided was that he participates for a time in many bands—but his one man show Sun Araw is something he can always rely on when he takes a break from other music projects.

His 2010 album Off Duty was described by Allmusic writer Gregory Heaney as "pulsing, Krautrock-influenced retro-futuristic lo-fi.

"[8] Jon Pareles, writing for The New York Times, described Sun Araw's music as "a happy jungle of electronic repetition and live playing.

Loops and echoes reconfigured reggae, funk and Afrobeat in dizzying ways; the music cackled and hopped, ready to trip up dancers or just get trippy in decidedly 21st-century groove.

"[9] His style has been characterized as experimental, containing "sampled loops, echoed vocals, bursting bass, and random moments.

[12] Furthermore, tracks like "Thanks and Praise" are described as "beyond dub, dancehall, roots, (his previous release) Ancient Romans, never really sounding like... the aforementioned genres".

Sun Araw, despite being Cameron's solo project, is often played live with others in band or trio combinations.
