McVey born March 11 1954, grew up in Cockfosters, North London and was educated at Queen Elizabeth's Boys' School, Barnet. He met Neneh Cherry in 1987 at Heathrow Airport. Neneh and Cameron were en route to Japan as fashion models as part of London Designer Ray Petri's Buffalo Posse.[citation needed] Neneh proposed and the two married in 1990. They have two daughters, Tyson (1989) and Mabel (1996)[1]. The family has lived throughout Europe. In 1993 they moved near Malaga, Spain and lived there until 1999. Briefly in 1995 they lived in Brooklyn, New York, where they had purchased a home in now-trendy Park Slope. Soon after moving in, the couple was held up at gunpoint and robbed by a teenage bandit.[citation needed] They headed back to London's Primrose Hill[2].
They next travelled to Neneh's childhood home in Hässleholm, Sweden; living in the same schoolhouse-turned home (featured in the Homebrew album's artwork) where Neneh grew up. [2]. Today they divide their time between Stockholm, London and their country house near Malmö, Sweden .
