Cameron Muncey was born on 4 February 1980 in Melbourne, and attended St Bedes College (high school) with future bandmates Nic and Chris Cester. Muncey took up guitar after hearing "Sunshine Of Your Love" by Cream. The song "Timothy" from "Get Born" was written about an older brother named who died in infancy before Muncey was born. Muncey and Nic Cester became best friends at school, with Cester declaring "He had \'Led Zeppelin\' written on his bag, and so did I, so it was inevitable, I guess", on the band\'s documentary recorded on their DVD, Right! Right! Right!.\n', '

Muncey\'s trademark guitar for Get Born was a Gibson Flying V, and he has used it in concert and in many of the videos. He has since switched to Gibson Les Pauls and SGs. Since Shaka Rock, Muncey mainly plays a Gibson ES137. Muncey uses Marshall amps as seen in the "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" video, as well as Orange Amplification as seen in the "Take it or Leave it" video. In the video for "Are You Gonna Be My Girl" he can be seen wearing an AC/DC T-shirt.\n', '
