Biography

Life’s eternal ebb and flow interlocks like puzzle pieces for Brooklyn, NY band Camera2—vocalist and frontman Andy Chase [Ivy, Brookville, Tahiti80, Juliana Hatfield], guitarist Michael “MJ” Jurin [Stellastarr*], bassist Atsuo Matsumoto, and drummer Mike “Mikey” Williams [Teddybears]. The quartet’s 2017 full-length debut album, Orbit, spans a whirlwind of worldwide touring, two devastating breakups, a potentially debilitating spinal injury, and one particularly, shall we say, “magical” night in Amsterdam… Born in Andy’s studio during 2012, the group earned acclaim from Rolling Stone, Noisey, and more as well as the endorsement of tastemaker Nic Harcourt for 2014’s Appetite EP. Invited on a 50-date tour across North America and Europe by Walk Off The Earth, the journey to Orbit began in 2015. “We’d love for people to put on headphones and be brought into this rich 3-dimensional world we created. That’s the ultimate goal, I think - to facilitate people tapping into the same wavelength we were on when making these songs. I think that’s the goal for any songwriter…to feel like they ultimately connected somehow with strangers.”
