BIO
CAMEO has made their place in the archives of urban music!
As an accomplished writer/producer/director, Blackmon was one of the first to create themebased videos such as “She’s Strange and “Attack Me With Your Love”; which used the acting genius of Laurence Fishburne, Debbie Morgan, and Ann Magnusum appearing in the clip.
L.B.’S abiding search for excellence is exhibited through his endeavors to constantly improve his creativity through the study of dance, acting and music. A sought-after writer/producer/director/ musician; Blackmon has produced projects for several outstanding and chart topping artists including: Bobby Brown, Chaka Kahn, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall and 8 Ball & MJG, just to name a few. Many artists have paid respect through the replication of CAMEO’s unique funk-filled sounds.
A multitude of recording artists and filmmakers have re-created and/or used original recorded versions of their favorite CAMEO music and songs in projects/films being played today. These artists include TuPac, Boys II Men, Will Smith, 8-Ball& MJG, Snoop Dogg, Mariah Carey, KORN, just to name a few.
2010
On February 8, 2001 by special request from Alex Hart of KNRK in Portland, Oregon and with mega-effort from Bill, Animotion reunited. In a display combining energy, emotion and intensity they played to a sold-out crowd. The band all agreed that it felt like magic to be onstage together again and Animotion Version 2001 was launched!
