Screening September 10th, 5:50 PM Cameron Rafati: American singer and songwriter began his musical journey at the age of thirteen years old when he picked up his uncle’s dusty guitar. Realizing that his passion existed within the realm of song playing, Rafati formed a band for the 7th grade talent show. His efforts to rock the school auditorium with fellow junior high band mates resulted in the rejection of his peers and the eventual pressure to become an athlete due to his 6’6″ stature. After high school, Rafati moved to Los Angeles and began attending the University of Southern California, where he formed a band called Vertices, a group that ultimately broke up after a three-year stint. Following the breakup, Rafati once again felt that he needed to be realistic about his life goals and moved to Texas where he put on wranglers, cowboy boots, and entered into the world of door-to-door sales in small central Texas towns. Tired of trying to reinvent the wheel in the corporate world, Cameron decided to re-connect with his true identity as a songwriter and performer. Now with an ever-growing fan base building upon strong momentum online and press outlets worldwide, it is apparent that Cameron Rafati is on his way to becoming one of the best independent and savvy artists emerging in the industry.
