Cameron Daddo And The Paisley Prophets
Cameron Daddo has enjoyed an extraordinary Global career as an actor in film/television.
Growing in the shadows of this has been his passion for composing, playing and singing country music.
A passion that grew from his days as a young boy, busking in the streets of Melbourne to writing and performing as his acting duties would allow.
Whilst residing in Topanga Canyon, California (an escape favoured by artists seeking a sanctuary from the glamour of Hollywood) he collaborated with like-minded musician Canyon dwellers, including the late Max Merritt and opening for Colin Hay shows. Resulting in the release of three delightful critically acclaimed albums, ‘A long goodbye’, ‘Ten songs and change’ and ‘Songs From the Shed’.
Since returning to Australia Cameron has been working with Australian writers including a co-write with Paul Kelly. An EP of these works was recorded ‘Son & Moon’ with esteemed county music producer, Michael Carpenter.
During Recent recording sessions with Michael Carpenter, Cameron met Country artist Tameaka Powell, professionally known as TEAK, she happened to be in Sydney recording tracks with the studio time she had won as the winner of the worldwide Fender player competition.
Teak is a vocalist and songwriter of exceptional originality and beauty, raised on a farm in Northern New South Wales by a family of country music lovers, where she cut her teeth appearing at local rodeos and country music festivals.
Her song writing skills were soon discovered and she was dispatched to Nashville, where she collaborated with many Nashville writers, resulting in cuts on George Straight and Ashley Mc Bride albums.
Her chance meeting with Cameron resulted in her song ‘Rolling Stone’ becoming a duet. A biographical observation of her life on the road “Some people have fire in their soul to really live life, explore and value each and every day”.
