Lev Cameron was born on October 11, 2005, in France. At some point, he moved to the United States of America with his family. After attending preparatory school, he passed the CHSPE, or California High School Proficiency Exam, and subsequently started taking online classes at Los Angeles Valley College.
He began dancing when he was five years old and eventually realised that he wanted to do it for the rest of his life. Ballroom was the first style in which he received training. It was only in 2019 that he was exposed to the training of other styles of dancing. As he takes online courses, he has been able to balance his education with his dancing.
His dream place to travel is France because he was born there. He can speak a little bit of French.
