Career

[edit]

Songwriting for various artists and bands alongside her own music, Cassyette merges pop and rock inspired sounds with modern-day electronic pop. Cassyette's first solo debut, Push n Pull, was labelled "a seriously well-crafted, addictive gem that should underline Cassyette's reputation as not only one of London's most relevant new artists, but a consummate beat maker and songwriter" by Niji Magazine.[5]

Cassyette made her festival debut at the 2021 Download Pilot festival,[6] also making a guest appearance alongside Frank Carter & the Rattlesnakes on their headlining slot.[7]

Cassyette co-wrote and performed backing vocals for "Doomsday Blue", the Irish entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, performed by Bambie Thug.
