It was owned by the Cameo Record Corporation in [[New York City]].<ref name="New Grove">{{cite book|last=Rye|first=Howard|title=The New Grove Dictionary of Jazz, vol. 1|year=2002|publisher=Grove's Dictionaries Inc.|location=New York|isbn=1561592846|edition=2nd|editor=Barry Kernfeld|page=376}}</ref> Cameo released a disc by [[Lucille Hegamin]] every two months from 1921 to 1926. Cameo records are also noted for dance music. The catalogue also included the Original Memphis Five and the Varsity Eight.<ref name="New Grove" /> Musicians such as [[Red Nichols]], [[Miff Mole]], [[Adrian Rollini]], and [[Frank Signorelli]] made trips to the Cameo studios.<ref name="discog">{{cite web|url= http://www.mainspringpress.com/cameo.html|title= The Cameo Discography|date= November 24, 2009|work= The Mainspring Online Discography Project|publisher= Mainspring Press|accessdate= February 3, 2010|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100313151020/http://www.mainspringpress.com/cameo.html#|archive-date= 2010-03-13|url-status= dead}}</ref> In 1926, Cameo started recording using a microphone-electrical process.
