Artist of the Week: Cassidy-Rae

CountryTown in partnership with iHeartCountry Australia is proud to announce Cassidy-Rae as our Artist Of The Week.

Turning heads ever since she won the starring role in her first school play, Cassidy-Rae’s passion for music began in the family home where she was singing before she could talk and followed in her brother’s footsteps, learning piano at two-years-old.

A stand-out student in her school choir and a proud member and leader within the prestigious Australian Girls Choir, some of her more exclusive, noteworthy performances include former President of the United States Barack Obama, Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, Hugh Jackman at the launch of Les Misérables premiere and The Pope in Rome. 

The Country Music Academy of Australia graduate has since appeared at major events including the Tamworth Country Music Festival, Blue Water Country Music Festival, Ballina Country Music Festival, Basin Music Festival, Sydney Blues and Roots Festival and more! She has performed across the world including entertaining thousands each week around the United States, Bahamas, Turks & Caicos on board Carnival Cruise Lines.

Her recent singles, Meant To Be, Dose Of You and Cheers Y’All all went to number one on the iTunes Country Chart. Before that, the catchy contemporary country-pop, Ton of Bricks as week as I’m On Vacation both debuted at #2 on the iTunes Country Singles and AMRAP Metro charts respectively.

Her latest single, Amazing was written amidst the turmoil of the pandemic. Dedicated to the health workers (the unsung heroes of the pandemic) that are truly amazing, the uplifting country pop song was produced by Sydney’s Love HZ Studios renowned producer Michael Carpenter.

She says, "Has anyone told you lately that you are amazing? It's time to feed your soul with good vibes and remember just how amazing you are!"
