Cam Griffiths is a Scottish multi-instrumentalist, sound designer, composer, performer, and sound mixer. He lives in south London, with bases in Margate, England and Warsaw, Poland.
Growing up on the Isle of Thanet, Cam first learnt the piano from his dad, before gaining classical training and teaching himself a wide range of other instruments into his teenage years. He gained a First Class Honours degree in Music from Brunel University, winning an award for the best graduating musician. He completed his final major project as an entirely self-produced album, alongside specialising in classical and experimental piano. Following some time working as a freelance composer (and selling antiques in Ramsgate), he won bursaries to study on the MA Filmmaking course at Goldsmiths, University of London. He specialised in sound for his graduation film ‘The Original’, which subsequently gained critical acclaim at international film festivals.
Highly skilled across many instruments* with the advantage of perfect pitch, he creates music for screen, stage, radio, and art installation; carefully composing, performing, and producing every aspect of the score.
His work for film has been exhibited at over 25 international festivals, including Fantasia International Film Festival, Fantasporto, Underwire, and at the British Film Institute. His work has also featured on RTÉ, Ireland’s national broadcaster, and the BBC. Cam has worked on projects for a wide range of commerical clients including YouTube, Citibank, Zeiss Thomas Pink Shirtmakers and NEUW Jeans to name a few.
He works regularly with respected artists using the medium of sound, such as Sonia Boyce, Sarah Maple, and Susan Pui San Lok. These works have been displayed at galleries across Britain and Europe.
Cam can often be found rambling with his analogue camera, the results of which can be seen here.
