If a band has dreams of becoming rock stars, they have to already have something deep inside of them that pushes them above the competition and shapes them into something unstoppable. A band like that has to look like rock stars, act like rock stars, and sound like rock stars to make that dream a reality. In these respects, Camera never fails to deliver. Camera used to be known as A.D.D and had Mark Chavez as its front man with Joel Lopicollo on drums and Beak Sidhu on bass. Marky went on to form Adema (Arista Records) which left the band without a singer. In 2001, Camera recruited a new guitarist named Robert Collier who was soon nicknamed, “Cracky.” The band still needed a singer to round out the lineup, though. Marky ironically found his own replacement when he met Kevin Haviv who was working for Howard Benson (P.O.D/Hoobastank/Cold/Adema) at Bay 7 Studios during the making of Adema's album, "Unstable." Marky knew that Kevin was a vocalist that was looking for a band and he asked Kevin if he was interested in singing on an instrumental demo as a way of trying out for Camera. Kevin seized the opportunity and recorded some rough vocals over the music. Beak, Joel, and Cracky liked the way the songs sounded even though they were unpolished because they could see Kevin’s potential as a singer. The band went out to L.A to jam with Kevin as well as get some early recording done with him. The vibe was right and Kevin was invited to join the band. The group recorded their first demo in late December of 2002 at Jonathan Davis' home studio through a demo deal with Arista Records. Camera went on to tour with Adema on the first leg of their “Unstable” promotional tour and also landed dates with Papa Roach, Seether, and Pressure 45. In 2004, Arista dropped its only two rock acts on its roster and reported heavy financial losses, which prompted Arista President Antonio “LA” Reid to move to Island Def Jam. This label turmoil terminated all business relations with Arista and Camera took a brief hiatus to regroup. Camera is releasing their first full length album in June of 2005. The album is titled, “…For the Moment” and will be released independently. Camera is currently getting shopped to FG Records which is under the Sony/Columbia umbrella. This is a band that makes itself heard.
