## Full Biography
Cameron Greenlee, AKA GreenTree Keys and the force behind GreenTree Music, was born in a quiet section of the Bronx, New York. He began his path in music studying classical piano at five years old. Playing both piano and drum set throughout his school years, he spent time studying the organ (tone-wheel and pipe), the harpsichord, as well as Brazilian and Latin percussion. His musical interests from a young age ranged from jazz to rock, Latin to hip-hop, and he developed a special relationship with ska and reggae music. Cameron has performed in over 35 countries, including extensive tours throughout five of the Earth's seven continents.

Prior to beginning a 5-year stint (2009–2013) touring and recording with the legendary Jamaican ska band The Skatalites (appearing on their 2012 studio album *Walk With Me*), Cameron released his debut record as an artist, titled *Cameron & the Trenton Street Collaborative* (2009), a 5-track EP released on the roots-reggae label Naya Records.

In 2022, he released *"Born a Rastaman"*, a contemporary reggae cover of the Dickey Betts / Allman Brothers classic *"Ramblin' Man"*, featuring Johnny Dread on vocals. His next single, *"Monkey Move"*, dropped in December 2023 featuring Toussaint the Liberator, followed by *"Straight Up"* featuring Nena Belen in September 2025. As a member of the Boston-based Naya Rockers reggae band, Cameron is the featured keyboardist and a co-writer on the *"Higher Education"* LP, released in 2025 on Naya Records in association with Floki Studios.

When not on the road performing, Cameron spends his time at HoveTo Studio on Block Island, Rhode Island, on his sailboat *s/v Anbessa*, and traveling.
