In November 2011, a christmas EP titled, Christmas Makes the Heart Grow Fonder was released along with the lead single, "It's Not Christmas Without You Here".

In 2012, his band Nineteen 80 Five (1985) was signed to Songs Music Publishing. Since then the band has gone on to release a collection of EPs and released the single, Summer Forever, on Hollywood Records. In September 2012, Walker debuted a new project with his brother Julian Walker called Brothers. They released their debut single, "12 Degrees" that same month. The duo later released "It's Not Christmas Without You Here" and cover of "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home)" for streaming via Alternative Press in December 2012. In January 2013, Nineteen 80 Five released "Everything's Perfect" as the lead single from their second EP, which was released in February. In 2014, Cameron signed to songwriter and producer, David Hodges, as his first signing to his publishing company Third & Verse which was a joint venture with Kobalt Music Group.
