Career[edit]

Cam Steady initially rose to prominence through YouTube with his animated music series Video Game Rap Battles, which featured fictional rap battles between iconic video game characters. Popular entries such as "Super Mario vs Sonic the Hedgehog", "Minecraft vs Terraria", and "Five Nights at Freddy’s vs Slenderman" quickly gained traction within the Nerdcore community and became some of the fastest-growing songs in the genre. His work caught the attention of Epic Rap Battles of History creators Nice Peter and Epic Lloyd, who invited Steady to contribute as a guest writer for Season 5 of their series.

Following his early success, Steady expanded his repertoire to include regular weekly music releases on YouTube, while also transitioning into live performances. He has headlined sold-out shows at conventions and events including Nerdcore Party Con, MAGFest, Anime Expo, and Momocon. His success on stage eventually led to the formation of the Nerdcore touring group Anime Rap Takeover, where he performs alongside other prominent artists in the genre such as Rustage, NerdOut, GameboyJones, and Chi-Chi. The group has aimed to bring the live anime and gaming rap experience to fans worldwide.

As of 2025, Cam Steady has maintained a 12-year career in the online music scene and has accumulated over 530 million streams across various platforms.
