Behind the scenes of Bread Van Industries
Born in 1997 in Eastern Washington, music has been an integral part of Cameron’s life from the very beginning. Born into a family of musicians, there was never a silent moment in the house or on the road growing up. At a young age, he developed a deep appreciation for the raw emotions that sonic frequencies could invoke in himself and the people around him. In high school, the discovery of electronic artists like Skrillex, Knife Party, and Excision, stoked a new fire in him. These new and innovative sounds brought out energy unlike any previously experienced.
Cameron began to build sound systems to feel the bass and share it with his friends, shoving a 10,000 Watt system into his clapped out Toyota Corolla and learning how to manipulate signals and soundwaves to please the ear and the soul. As time went on, the systems got larger and more refined. Cameron discovered the EDM festival scene and the vibrant community within it. He carried his passion and knowledge for electronics and sonic performance into this new area and began to work on a new project with his friends. A stripped-out taco truck slowly transformed into a modular party on wheels. With multiple, massive subwoofers, high-powered amplifiers, LED lighting, lasers, and a stage for DJs, the baby-blue Bread Van took form, forever changing the game of The Gorge’s legendary renegade camps.
After years of honing his craft and bringing a multitude of big and small artists alike to the afterparty to play for thousands of people for free, Cameron knew it was time to take the next leap into the event production scene. With his knowledge of sound-propagation theory, electronic design, lighting, and a lifelong-love of good music, Cameron seeks to bring the people of the PNW unforgettable audio-visual experiences through the might of Bread Van Industries.
