CAMP SHELOR

Camp Shelor, co-founder of Penzance Productions, has been on a musical journey for over a decade. He picked up the guitar at the age of 12, but it wasn’t until later that he discovered his passion for creating music, particularly delving into the intricacies of music theory.

Camp first met Trent through mutual friends to help compose for their local band. From there, their musical relationship has grown tremendously.

His college studies deepened his understanding of musical analysis and composition, emphasizing the importance of structured compositions. Camp’s academic background includes a Master of Science in Music Psychology, allowing him to tap into the emotional impact of music and apply it effectively in various media projects.

Camp draws inspiration from a wide range of musical genres and artists, from classical composers like Claude Debussy, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Ludwig von Beethoven, to modern talents such as Tennis, Sofía Valdés, and Ben Folds. He also has a soft spot for timeless classics like the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and James Taylor.

Camp Shelor and Penzance Productions offer you and your projects a wealth of musical and psychological expertise, mixing science and creativity in a way that few composers are able to do.
