Matt Cameron

Matt Cameron is an American musician and songwriter. He is best known as the drummer for the Seattle Grunge Rock bands Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. Matt first played drums for Seattle band Skin Yard, but did not acquire international fame until he joined 'Soundgarden' with Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, and Hiro Yamamoto in 1986. He remained with 'Soundgarden' for roughly ten years until the band split up in 1997. The band were one of the biggest alternative rock acts of the 1990s, along with Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and the Screaming Trees. By 1994 'Soundgarden' were an international success, their albums 'Superunknown' (1994) and 'Down on the Upside' (1996) topping the album charts. Matt is credited as writer - and co-writer - of many of the band's songs. In 1991 Matt appeared on the 'Temple of the Dog' album with Jeff Ament, Chris Cornell, Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, and Eddie Vedder. The album was a side-project, a tribute to Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood w
