There’s always an explosion of concepts and ideas in Kamron Waithe’s mind.
Even in casual conversation, she would begin discussing one thought, which may soon branch out into five.
But within this creative overflow, there’s some cohesion and structure: She knows exactly what she wants, what she's looking for, and how to bring those ideas to life.
This perfectly aligns with her roles as a film/TV producer, creative director, first assistant director, and digital content creator.
She has worked on several notable local music videos such as Coutain’s Artform and Jamtown, Machel Montano’s Pardy and Shake The Place featuring Destra Garcia, and TV series like Carnival Catwalk.
Creating content that fills her with pride is always her main goal.
Theatre kid days
Waithe, 27, was born in Belize to TT parents and moved here when she was seven.
Growing up in Marabella, she attended the Savonetta Private School and then St Joseph’s Convent, San Fernando.
She believes her fascination with creativity stems from seeing her mother work as a seamstress.
“She’s always been very crafty. So I think creativity has always been around me.”
Admittedly, she never helped with any sewing. But she channelled her youthful creativity by doing ballet. She began in Belize and continued in TT, adding modern and folk styles to the mix.

In addition, she said she regularly performed pantomimes during primary school.
“So I was around music heavily then, too, and I enjoyed doing music as a subject.”
Like most children, she had to learn to play the instrument that’s often the bane of a parent’s existence – the recorder.
Typically producing the high-pitched, squeaky, out-of-tune sounds, she boasted that she was “pretty good” at it.
“I loved the recorder. But my friends tell me not to tell people that,” she said with a laugh.
When she finished primary school, her brother was attending Presentation College at the time. That school had a mixed choir and she joined as she enjoyed singing.
“We would do a musical every year. So that's kind of where I got a lot of my classical singing training, and that's where I went fully into being on stage.”
She soon joined the choir at her own school and was studying theatre arts, too.
She also later joined the choir and worship team at the San Fernando Open Bible Church.
“I've always been involved and I've always loved music. I've always loved singing. I still love singing.”
Asked if she still does, she candidly replied: Yeah, in my shower.
“But music and theatre is where it all began.”
At that time, she wanted to aim for the stars. Literally. She was considering astronomy as a career path.
“At that age, nobody ever really knows what they want to do, right? So I was very confused.”
But the stars did not align for this to happen after all.
