“I never want to be boastful – I don’t like being the center of attention. Even my guitar playing is like that”: Cameron Griffin has gone from construction worker to UCLA linebacker and, now, a multi-platinum producer and guitarist

Cameron Griffin has gone from working in construction to being a Grammy nominee for his work on Coco Jones’ 2022 EP, What I Didn’t Tell You. That’s pretty astounding, and he’s enjoyed the ride, but he remains tempered. 

“Being recognized is amazing,” he says. “But I don’t like how the music business is. To be successful, you’ve gotta be like John Mayer, but I have other dreams. I play guitar, but I’m not a ‘guitar player.’ I’m Cameron, who plays guitar.”
