Cameron Moody is an American composer, conductor, and trumpeter based in Los Angeles, CA. His distinctive utilization of the symphony orchestra has given way to a varied resume, with project genres in film and television ranging from action to documentaries to romance and comedies. It is his love of the orchestra and his use of a heavily acoustic palette that has amplified his voice in the current generation of media composers. His experience as a composer has also brought his music off of the screen and into the concert hall. In 2022, Cameron served as composer-in-residence for the National Symphony Orchestra of Costa Rica, where he conducted a sold-out concert which also included the premiere of a new work of his called Celebrate the Arts!

Cameron composed the score to the eight-part documentary series Kennedy, which chronicles the life and legacy of 35th President John F. Kennedy. It aired on the History Channel in November of 2023, opening to rave reviews and becoming one of the History Channel’s flagship programs for 2023. He has enjoyed a continued collaboration with director Sean Carlo Martini, writing the music for numerous of his films such as Mr. Stout’s Unfinished Masterpiece, Home, Lowball, and No Vacancy. Cameron recently completed writing the score to Patrick Green’s documentary feature film Sincerely, Los Angeles, a love letter to the late Oscar-winning basketball legend Kobe Bryant. 

Cameron was also a frequent collaborator of Emmy-nominated and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Michael Abels, composing additional music on scores such as Disney’s Star Wars: The Acolyte — for which he also served as a conductor — Kobi Libii’s The American Society of Magical Negroes, David Yarovesky’s Nightbooks, the Emmy-nominated documentary series Allen v. Farrow, and Jordan Peele’s Nope. In addition, he contributed orchestrations and arrangements for the Disney+ anthology series Zootopia+, a series of vignettes based on the 2016 hit film.

Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, Cameron studied at New York University, majoring in Music Composition and Screen Scoring. In 2019, he was awarded a Marvin Hamlisch International Music Award for Best Composition by an Emerging Composer. In 2021, at age 18, he made history by becoming the youngest winner of ASCAP’s Henry Mancini Music Fellowship Award. In 2024, he also became the youngest composer (21) to ever be selected as a fellow in the highly coveted NBC/Universal Composers Initiative.
